Страница для печати
On December 5-9, 2011,the SMK Taman Keramat team participated in the workshop and a national robotic competition organized by the giant multinational company Schlumberger under Schlumberger Excellence in Educational Development (SEED). The program aims to expose teachers and students to the importance of science and technology on the environment and society.
The SMK Taman Keramat team consisted of10 students and a teacher, Mr. Nik Shahrolalif Bin Ahmad Shahimi. This group of students was divided into two teams, supervised by teachers and SEED facilitators. Over the five days of this program, we were taken to visit the country and carry out the activity of launching a water rocket at the Planeterium. Then we were taken to Petronas Towers and conducted a number of activities provided by Petronas.
Then we were taken to the Melaka Refinery Complex and were briefed by the facilitator about careers in engineering. Our next stop was A Famosa Resort, Melaka, where we attended a robotics workshop using a GoGo board, a programmable logic control system. During this workshop, our school teams took the challenge and produced a project with the theme of safety, health, and the environment.
The 1st team presented their FLOMP project--the Flood Management and Water Treatment Process. The objectives of this project are to reduce the risk of infrastructure damage; to reduce risks of illness such as cholera; to reduce the death caused by floods; and to supply clean water for domestic usage. With the Gogo board students chose water as the element for their project. They used four sensors that can be a perfect system to control and manage flood problems. The project also includes supplying clean water using reverse osmosis.
The 2nd team presented their Landslide Project. The objectives of this project are to warn of soil movement on steep hills; to prevent the occurrence of landslides in the area at risk; and to reduce the risk of accidents on the slopes. Using the Gogo board, students chose soil as the element for their project and used three sensors for a control system that directly managed the movement of soil on slopes.
Only three teams are selected for the short list by Schlumberger headquarters to contest for selection as Malaysia's SEED representative to New York, and our 1st team has been chosen to present their project. After making their presentation, the team was selected. So the SMK Taman Keramat project Flood Management and Water Treatment Process (FLOMP) will represent SEED
Malaysia in New York in April 2012. The SMK Taman Keramat team won this competition with a project that is very useful to the world community.

Thanks to all who gave positive comments. We appreciate all your comments. we will strive harder to produce a project useful to the world community. We are happy to join and share ideas together in SEED channel.
What an amazing and innovative contest! I wish more events like these had of existed when I was young, I think it would have been a lot of fun. Thank you for the update Nik, and I can not wait to hear how everything goes in New York!
Thank you Mr Nik for the blog post..
I definitely like the idea of FLOMP and look forward to the YouthCan presentation in April..
Will be here always to support you guys... :)
it's amazing what kids can do with GoGo boards... I've never played with one, but I get overwhelmed just looking at it. And then I read stories and see photos of projects kids come up with and it fascinates me!
Thanks for sharing!
One thing I'm always interested in is how the project teams choose their topics. I'm assuming that flood control and landslide prediction are subjects of real concern to their communities. I wonder what other topics were considered before they settled on these...
Excellent! I really liked the photographs, and am glad that teachers were able to see how this type of activity is so attractive to students of all ages!

Yes me too! I love the pictures!
This is really cool. The landslide project is particularly interesting to me because of how catastrophic these natural disasters can be. What a wonderful use for GoGo Boards!!!
Love
These projects sound very exciting. I can't wait to see more about this national workshop.
Thank YOU very much for sharing your experience.
It is always very inspiring to read from the field.
More to follow soon with the videos!!!
