Year 8 KIOSC Visit: Sustainable Futures Program
Year 8 students recently visited KIOSC to take part in the engaging “Sustainable Futures” program, exploring how we can respond to climate challenges over the next 25 years. Through hands-on workshops, students investigated solutions related to energy use, sustainable food production, and transport.
Highlights included designing energy-efficient “passive houses,” experimenting with renewable energy sources such as wind and solar, and using robotics to model vertical farming systems. These activities encouraged critical thinking and real-world problem solving.
Throughout the program, students developed a strong understanding of sustainability by exploring eco-friendly design, evaluating energy choices, and collaborating on innovative solutions. The experience inspired students to consider how their actions today can help shape a more sustainable future.
