NTU Green Fest (24 to 26 Mar)

Ms Maria Moper Nunez from Nanyang Technological University Earthlink Management Committee invited Earth Society to set up a booth during their NTU Green Fest event from 24 Mar to 26 Mar. NTU Earthlink president, Mr Ryan Jin, get to know about Earth Society during the Singapore Poly GR3 Fair held in Jan this year. Other organizations participating in the event includes ACRES, NParks, Nokia, The Dorsl Effect etc.

On 24 Mar, NTU Earthlink invited Dr Amy Khor, Mayor of South West District, to grace the opening ceremony for Earth Fest. Dr Amy Khor presented a Token of Appreciation to Earth Society during the opening ceremony.

 

NTU Earthlink set up a game station for the students participating in the event. Students will first collect a game card from Earthlink game station. Then they have to visit the different booths to learn about how to help the environment. They would complete various activities at the booths to earn stamps on the card. When the students get 9 stamps, they would win a goodie bag and a chance to join in a Lucky Draw. The grand prize of the Lucky Draw is an ipad! (a great attraction for the students!)

At our booth, students have to watch a 2 mins video clip on “How Global Warming is affecting the world?” Then, they will answer 2 questions based on the video to get a stamp in the card. Because of this activity, many students learn about the effects of climate change on the environment and ways to protect the environment.

At the end of the 3 day event, many students showed interest in the topic of Climate change and gladly sign up in our email list to receive more information on environmental protection.
