300906 Meeting Minutes of Programs Team
By eco-house on Monday, October 02, 2006 at 12:43 PM
Hi All,
Sorry for the late update of the Programs team. We had our first meting in the bus last Saturday and here's the update.
Firstly, we'll like to welcome these few newcomers on board the Eco-House Project. They are from Poly Forum 2006, and expressed interest in joining the group:
- Tom Seah, Temasek Poly, Programs Team
- Eve Goh, Nanyang Poly, Programs Team
- Chong Zheng Long, Nanyang Poly, Programs Team
- Siti Fatimah, Temasek Poly, Programs Team
- Daryl Law, Republic Poly, Building Team
They are just 5 of the 10 people (everyone in the photo above) who expressed their interest in joining the crew. The others were not able to attend the meeting last Saturday, however their commitment towards which team will be confirmed at a later date.
We started the meeting with a introduction of the Eco-House by Wilson and after which, we started brainstorming on what we wanted to see in the activites taking place in the house. We agreed that the activities should be:
- Interactive
- Educational
- Interesting
- Simplified so that they can understand how the technologies work
- To be able to bring it back home to try it themselves
Our main focus of these activities will be starting with the Secondary School Youths, and each technology will be introduced on a station-to-station basis. around 20 people will be inside the Eco-house going through the activities at one time. We will/may split the 20 participants into groups of 5, attached to a Eco-Guide to better facilitate the movement from station to station. Each trip will take around 1 hour.
We also brainstormed on the ways we can showcase our activities. Several ideas were being shared and discussed.
(1) Eco-Challenge
Every Station will be individualised, and when the Group reaches the Station, introduction of the technology at the station will be done by the Eco-Guide on what is it for, how the technology is feasible, and the procedure of the whole process. It will be followed on by a Q&A session to answer the students' doubts and unclears. Lastly, the students will be quizzed. Points will be given and the accumulated points will determine which group has won the Eco-Challange.
(2) Family of the Future
Earth in 30 years time will face the problem of resources deplete and human beings are suffering because of that. All the Stations will fasture a different family memeber of 'The Family of The Future' and through comic strips, they will tell the students on the environmental problems they are facing at that time, how the problem affected their daily lives and how the technology at each station was helping to make things better.
(3) Write a Story/Solve the Msytery Style
At the end of each Station, the group will receive their 'Clue' and they are suppose to used these clues ther are given to, in the Write a Story Style, come out with a story using those clues. The best stories coming out from those clues will be selected and published on our 'Wall of Stories'. In the Msyetry Style, clues will also be given for them to solve a mystery which will be given to them at the beginning. This idea is still very brief and will improve on this.
These are just the very prelimary ideas we came out with and we felt that we should do more research on the Biodisel, Composter, Green roof/walls, Rainwater Harvesting & Recycled Living Space before we can decide on the flow of the activities. Therefore, the 5 of us from the Programs Team 'attached' ourselves to one topic each to do our research.
Sharing of what we found out about the technologies will be done during our next meeting before we decide how we want the activites to run.
