Young little warriors – G04.2
Elaine Tiong Pei Ying, Goh Kai En Andrew, Joel Siaoman, Ooi Hui Ying, Wang Zi Rui
Water security has always been Singapore’s priority because of the lack of natural water resources. Our project aims to emphasize the importance of saving water in Singapore to children aged 5-6 years old. We will target this population in pre-schools, where children will be taught the importance of water in their daily lives as well as several methods in which they can conserve water at home. Our group has chosen to convey this message through a storybook, in which activities are included in it to allow students to have a more interactive learning. We have also come up with a teaching guide, to facilitate the teachers when using the storybook and activities during their lessons.

The project focused on designing a World Water Day campaign to re-emphasize the importance of water to tertiary students staying on campus, with the tagline: “Make Every Drop Count”. Targeting students staying in Ridge View Residential College (RVRC), the project monitored the water usage between different blocks in RVRC, to determine the effectiveness of different campaign methods. We compared three methods: posters, instant and delayed feedback regarding students’ water consumption. Our project spanned across February to March 2018. We hypothesised that instant feedback will be the most effective campaign method as residents will receive timely feedbacks about their personal water usage, and this was reflected in our findings. After our project in RVRC, we hope to be able to introduce the best survey method to other Residential Colleges and Halls to promote water conservation in all NUS campus.

Water Conservation Awareness Workshop – G16.3
Chin Shan Ling Rachel, James Pang Mun Wai, Le Huu Gia Nghi, Remus Josiah Wee Sheng Yuan
Water security has always been Singapore’s priority due to its lack of natural resources. This project focuses on re-emphasizing the importance of water conservation by spreading awareness through the use of education materials. Literature has shown that water conservation habits should be cultivated early, and that children learn better with hands-on activities as compared to structured teaching. As such, we have narrowed down our target audience to pre-school children, and chosen the approach of an interactive workshop. The 30-minute interactive workshop comprises the of 1. a Pre-workshop, Post-workshop and Review Survey, 2. Water Saving Demonstration, 3. a Maze game, and 4. a Poster Pledge. Our review survey tested the effectiveness of our workshop by measuring the knowledge retention rate of the pre-schoolers, while our poster pledge will serve as a constant reminder for them after the workshop ends.
