Acknowledgments:

For Maxis that gave us the opportunity to be in touch and communicate with our communities, and sponsoring the project fund, we could never say enough thank you. Few months back before we weren't exposed to this competition, we would never know that aside from being curb inside our campus and studying, studying, studying, there are outside people that we could give something to them, and exchange ideas with them. And ended it was fun after all.

We would like to thank Cik Rashidah, for being the person that brought us into this competition. Without her, we could never possibly able to get all this interesting and motivating experiences especially with our project management skills. Trust us, we learnt A LOT. Right from communicating with the formal organization until with a bunch of Standard 4 kids!
Cik Rashidah also has been giving her advices and helped us throughout this project, and without her, we could never have the right opinions.

We would also like to thank SK Seksyen 6 Headmistress, Puan Aishah for being so understanding and very helpful in this project. She was right there to hear us, and listen to what we had to say in order to make her school the aim for the project. She also eager to help us and giving us all the needs that we need in order to make this project a successful and beneficial to all.

Cikgu Ratna, the Kemahiran Hidup teacher, the MOST sporting and funniest teacher we've ever met. Cikgu Ratna was the most enthusiastic person on assisting us. She even communicated with us during odd hours, just to make sure we had everything that we need! She was the key person that is responsible on this project success. We could never know what to deal with all the details on the plants and soils if it wasn't because of her.

Our classmates! Oh HOW we could ever thank them. Even if we dedicated the whole blog to them, it would never enough to show our appreciation for all their help and assistants. Every sweat on the Taman Sains SK Seksyen 6 came from our classmates. Thanks guys, million, trillion, gazillion THANKS!

And last but not least, the kids. They are so cute we need to resist from squeezing their cheeks. They were so keen to take care for their plants and there was this time we went to see their plants progress, the kids water their plants every time they got the chance to do so! During morning when they arrived to school, during recess hour, and before going home! They are very much impatient on tracking their plant's growth through the GMS System.

Not forgetting all the unmentioned parties that indirectly made this project into success.

Feedback from the community:


From adik Nur Fahatin Najwa.


From adik Nurul Aina


From adik Melvinder


It's almost the end of this competition, even though we do feel some relief on the completion of this project, but it is VERY undoubtedly that we are quite reluctant to end all of this.

The hectic schedule on managing every single details of the project, the tiring trips, bundled together with our studies and exam timetable, and squeezing every possible minute to keep in touch with Cikgu Ratna from SK Seksyen 6 etc etc. We admit that it was a tiring activities, but when we saw the children faces during the seeds planting and how they took care of the trees until they grew SO big and at the same time exposed to ICT, we felt that it was all worth it.

And what we can assure that, this spirit would NOT only lasts until 6th November.

Sincerely,

OMG OMG OMG it's been sooooo long since we've updated this blog. Yeah, blame the festive season and open houses and final exam

Anyhoos, it's been exactly one month since we planted the vegetables and we are soooo eager to see them grow bigger and bigger everyday!



See the Petola!!!!! So BIG!



Bendi!



Kacang Botor



Peria



Kacang Buncis



Kacang Pokok Renek


And also, this is how our GMS System looks like. For security reasons, we couldn't publish the address here. However, we would print screen every features in the website for you!

The main page. We're currently updating as much as possible to fill in the white blanks


The student profile. I created an account myself for print screen purpose.


Students also able to update their profiles.


After registering, they could key in their tree name and details.


Example here, I've planted a Peria, so I entered my tree growth week by week in centimeters.


And then tadaaa. The statistic about my Peria will be generated!

The kids are starting to enter their tree details already! Sadly, didn't manage to bring camera, so will update the pictures soon!

xoxo,

Project Report - Thurs 4 Oct

OK, we all have seen pictures of the Phase 1 event, so what really happened backstage?
For Phase 2, basically the main objective would be enabling the student's to key-in their data into our developed website.


Din and Ijoey


Mie and Zahir.

Those are the anchor people in developing the website for the student to key-in their plant's growth data. We even have a name for the webbie! We called it GMS System. It is currently hosted, but due to security reasons, I couldn't put the link here, so yeah. Would do some screen shots though, so stay tuned!

P/S: Please don't get confused with Phase 1 or 2. It's our project phases, not the Maxis CyberlinQ phases yah!

The launch is PHASE 1 whereby students plant their vegetables and record the initial height.
