ARUP dedicating a team

By Wilson Ang a.k.a ShamU on Thursday, September 20, 2007 at 12:48 PM

Concurrently, we are running into a couple of busy people's schedule. One of which is with our dedicated engineer for the project, Mr Russell Cole. We worked out an idea to have his company dedicate a team of youth engineer to this project. And he did.

He allocated a small team led by Wee Keong. And currently, they are taking in all the necessary information for the calculation of the ECO House and some modification of its "greeness" to ensure it is both stable and sustainable.

This spells great news as we can now move faster forward with a team of engineers.

Followed up, we will be scheduling a meeting up between the engineers and the relevant parties.

Securing the exact site for the ECO House

By Wilson Ang a.k.a ShamU on Wednesday, September 19, 2007 at 9:42 AM

Upon an initial agreement with the Singapore Science Centre to build the ECO House there, we needed to work on the location. A few emails were exchanged during this time to allow us to carry things forward. However, due to the upcoming National Science Fair, our counterparts at the SSC were very taxed.

Nonetheless, we went down to the site several times to finalize the location and conduct soil sampling to ensure the selected location did not have soil problems and that extra money was not required to pound the earth.

Program Learning Cycle

By Wilson Ang a.k.a ShamU on Tuesday, September 18, 2007 at 9:37 AM

Finally, thanks to our Chief Development Officer and his partner, we have developed the program and called it ENRICH!

The general overview of the Enrich! programme is intended to provide a holistic learning experience for participants during their environmental learning journey. Designed for mature learners, the programme will emphasize experiential and hands-on learning, and facilitate retention of key principles through action and critical thinking.

For organisations seeking a more in-depth learning engagement process, the programme may be customised to include visits to learning sites.
