Plenary session by Prof Kerry Sieh

I have learnt that usually separate layers means that different amount and time the tsunamis have hit the island. Some places and islands have 10,000 or even 20,000 years of tsunami history. Some islands like the Nias island will rise after the earthquake. The Nias island sank before 28 March 2005 but however, it rose up 2.5 meters after the earthquake occurred. Prof. Kerry also used GPS to measure tectonic information and he used ancient corals and the SuGAr to make forecasts. Indo-Australian plate subduct under the Sunda plate. It subducts 7cm per year.

IT for Animation by Prof Seah Hock Soon

I have learnt that for every second an animation needs 24/25 frames. Animation also needs a story behind it, meaning it is like a story telling but in cartoon. Different types of animation is stop motion, 2D Animation Production Pipeline, 3D Animated Film and etc. The first 2D animation movie is Lion King. The movie was mostly done by hand and it costed $45million. The first 3D movie was Toy Story done by Pixar and it costed $30million. The cost is lesser because 2D animation needs more workforce - labour intensive. Motion capture consists of computer graphics, data processing, computer vision, robotics and image processing.

Innovative breakthroughs in Nano-Science and Nano Technology by Prof Ma Jan

There are many diferent types of technology. One of the four main technology are nano technology, bio technology, electronic technology and defence technology. Nano technology can be used to clean water. Forensic also uses nano technology such as the white light illumination and the UV illumination.

Our Achievements

Posted by Muhamad Danish |

What did you achieve by completing this project? When answering this question, consider both personal and academic development.

I get to know how to use the microscope and this will benefit me during my future when I need to use the microscope for investigation and future projects. This has also though me that cells do not necessary come in one shape and size. Now, I know that a tissue is made of many cells by seeing and evaluating it myself. I can do better now in cells topic in biology because I can now explain how the cells look like and the properties of the cells properly and I can get an idea of what to write in future tests or examination.

Post photographs and videos that you recorded during the project here.

Describe how the design of your experiment or the design of your product allowed you to achieve the projects desired outcomes.

I can actually achieve my desired outcomes by following the instructions that are given for me to achieve my results.

Identify possible limitations (restrictions) to your project. When answering this question, consider the design of your experiment or the design of your product.

Limitations may be lack of experience. Since I’m lack in experience using the microscope or even the liquids and terms that are used by the NTU mentors I can not carry out the experiment too smoothly however the NTU mentors were there to help and aid us in the experiments. Another limitations is the abiltity to retry the project because some of the results that we obtained are not that perfect and we want to improve of it but lack of time and the length of the experiment is a big big disadvantage because we don’t have the luxury of time to retry our experiment to perfect it.

Suggest possible improvements that could be made in order to minimize the limitations that you have identified.

Extend the time and the period of the camp so that we can have more time. We can also do something similar in school before such as revising the basics use of the microscope before we use it again.
