Reflection - Learn @ One Deg North - The Climate Change Challenge @ Science Centre (28 May)



Learn@ is a technology-based educational event organised by the Ministry of Education (MOE) on an annual basis. It aims to take learning outside the classroom and encourages pupils to make linkages between what they observe during the learning experience and what they learn in class. Based on their field experience and research, teams of pupils will be tasked to complete web-based projects and submit them as competition entries.

Teams will participate in an online quiz one week prior to the actual day event. Each team member must answer a set of 20 Multiple-Choice Questions (MCQs) by logging in to http://www.icellwireless.net/learn/. The set of MCQs pertains to Land, Air and Water and must beanswered by the assigned team members, respectively.

All teams must attend the event launch and participate in The Climate Challenge on 28 May 2008. Team members are required to use their registered mobile phones to unlock 9 Climate Challenges and race against other teams to complete a total of 9 Team Quests from designated Climate Challenge Stations. Teams will use the blog as a platform to discuss and prepare a proposal that outlines an activity, or a series of activities, that the team can implement in their school, to raise awareness of the consequences of climate change, and rally support from their class and schoolmates in an effort to mitigate the effects of climate change. They should package their proposal as the final entries in their blogs.

The photographs were taken on 28 May (Wed). The team from Sembawang Sec Sch comprises of 2E1 pupils Rekha, Elaine and Yun Ru. They went to the briefing session earlier at MOE HQ and knew what is expected on the actual day. Throughout the whole event, they were enthusiastic and were keen on doing well for this session.
