Groups of students from CHIJ St Joseph’s Convent gathered excitedly around the model house. The 1m x 1m model, big enough for a student to snuggle herself inside, sported a purplish-black solar panel on one side of its roof.
Finally, it was time to test their creations. The model houses were brought out to the school field into the bright sunlight – and to the students’ delight, the many red fans began to spin. For the bigger demonstration model house, the energy generated from the table-sized solar panel was enough to charge a mobile phone.
Ms Janice Bong, Managing Director, Power and Renewables, Infrastructure Division of Keppel says, “With the growing focus on sustainability and climate action, we are heartened by the students’ participation in the Powering a Brighter Future programme. Keppel will continue to support Singapore’s sustainability efforts to inspire the next generation to be stewards for climate action.”
“This is a challenging message to bring across to them,” she says. “The Powering a Brighter Future exhibition allowed students to see in real time how solar energy is generated and how their daily actions may not be as green as they thought.” Given the current carbon footprint of energy use, the best way to reduce carbon emissions causing climate change is to reduce energy consumption. To remind themselves and their families to save energy, students brought home a piece of the exhibition with them – a folder printed with energy-saving tips.
