Educations Days
Tuesday, 2 December to Thursday, 4 December 2008
The IPTC Education Days is organised for the benefit of high school students in Malaysia, as an initiative to introduce them to the discipline of petroleum engineering, and the industry in general. SM Sains Miri is one of the schools selected to participate at the Education Days. The students are required to work on an assigned school project and displayed throughout the conference at the Education Days School Projects Display Area in Exhibition Hall 3 at Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre.
SM Sains Miri has chosen "Alternative energy: my world, my future" as the project theme. Students are required to prepare:
1. Write-up - limit to 600 words (20 points)
2. "Mini-model" & Poster (35 points)
3. Presentation slides - not more than 10 minutes long (30 points)
4. Additional materials (10 points)
The school team created a mini-society named 'TAMAN KITA' which implements Building Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV) technology on the roof of a house. BIPV converts solar energy into electrical energy without combustion. This technology helps to save on electricity bills in the long run, create job opportunities and also reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases.
SM Sains Miri won 3rd place in this competition. Congratulations to Amy Sia, Mohd Shafiq Shaffa'ee, Lionel Kallang, Alshafiq Hasbi and Charlie Mayson.
