Woodgrove Solar Fountain at the MOE ExCEL Fest 2010

On Saturday, 6 March 2010, a team of teachers and students conducted a presentation on the Woodgrove Solar Fountain at the MOE ExCEL Fest held at Suntec City. The team comprised the following members:

Teachers (Science Department):

· Mr Flavian Fernandez

· Mr Aaron Cheng

· Mr Jerry Tai

· Mr Ernest Ng

· Mr Wee Ngai Shen, Yisen

Students:

· Yap Ying Ying – 4E1

· Douglas Yong – 4E3

· Sabrina Yaccob – 2E2


The project was a largely student-directed project and it involved setting up a photovoltaic module at the front of the school to power the school fountain. The teachers shared with the public, the processes involved in designing, implementing and evaluating such a project. The products and outcomes of the project were also showcased during the presentation. These included the photos of the photovoltaic module itself.


The students, on the other hand, shared their personal experiences in designing the project and transferring their knowledge to their juniors or peers. Overall, the presentation was reasonably successful as positive verbal feedback was received from educators and members of the public at the end of the session. We are looking forward to receiving formal feedback from the ExCEL Fest organizing committee in the near future.
