Eco House Competition
The EcoHouse Design & Can Collection Contest is a competition organised by the Anglo-Chinese Junior College Science and Mathematics Council, in collaboration with Sembwaste Pte Ltd. The competition embraces two themes: Energy Conservation and Recycling. The former gave the participants the opportunity to design their own eco-friendly house while the latter required them to manage a can collection project for several weeks before the actual competition. They had to write a proposal for their design, as well as a write-up for their can collection project. The event culminates with the participants' showcasing of their ecohouse design to the judges and ACJC students, marking the end of a long process and the start of, perhaps, something greater.
ACtravaganza Can Collection Campaign
The ACtravaganza Can Collection Campaign is a 3-month project, organised by the ACJC Science and Mathematics Council. It aims to promote awareness and active participation in recycling within the college. The project started up with an inter-class competition which motivates students to source for potential locations where beverage cans are heavily consumed, to collect and recycle them. The campaign ran through weekly collection and donation for 10 consecutive weeks and finished on a high note: 15,000 aluminum cans have been collected, which would subsequently be donated to Sembwaste Pte Ltd. Additionally, the 15,000 can tabs have been donated to project 11, a project that called for collection of aluminum can tabs to provide materials for manufacture of prosthetic legs for the amputees. It is estimated that about 2000 can tabs are able to make one prosthetic artificial limb.
