Science Product Innovation 2023

Hello, ReadChamps! It's been a busy week for me, with multiple programs and activities to handle here at our school. Today marks the first day of our Science Production Innovation Presentation, featuring students from Grade 4 to Grade 10. This is one of the biggest events in our school, and we have been preparing for it for the past two months. The students are understandably excited and nervous at the same time, as they have been tasked with innovating an existing product.

The learners were given a month to prepare their written proposals, PowerPoint presentations, and blueprints for their proposed products. Initially, some of them hesitated, especially the grade schoolers who felt that they lacked the necessary knowledge and skills to create documents and presentations. Moreover, they were stressed about presenting in front of the teachers, parents, and students from other grade levels. To ease their anxiety, we gave them a whole week to prepare and finalize everything before the scheduled presentation. Fortunately, they were able to deliver their presentations with great success, and their hard work paid off.

Furthermore, we are still in awe of our learners' wide imagination and creativity, as evidenced by the outstanding and amazing products they have innovated. Their inventions all had a major goal, which is to protect and save Mother Earth. We saw solar cars, stoves, cellphones, trash bins that convert biodegradable waste to fertilizer within 10 minutes, baby carriers with special features, water-powered electricity generators, trash-collecting boats, self-cleaning UV light water bottles, and many more. It is clear to us that the world needs more innovative kids like them to help solve our most pressing environmental problems.

As the spearhead of this event, it gives me great pleasure to witness such incredible presentations that have given us a lot of realizations and ideas on how the world will be in the coming years if the innovations of these kids are accepted in the near future. I am immensely proud of them!
