Siemens Green School, July 2018

‘Siemens Green School’ was held on July 18 at Ansan-si, Gyeonggi-do with participation of about 140 Grade 5 students from MaeHwa Elementary School. Approximately 30 participants including Siemens employee volunteers, instructors and college student supporters conducted the environment and science educational program. Three main programs aiming to inform students about the current state of environmental challenges and to educate them about how to create a healthier Earth were conducted under the main themes of ‘Getting Closer to Energy’; ‘Learning about Energy’ and ‘Making Commitments’. In order to help students understand better and record on what they learn during the program, the workbooks were provided. Furthermore, the ‘green ninja’ video was played for the purpose of attracting the interest of the students towards carbon footprint.

After the event, the fourth disbanding ceremony of 28 college student supporters that participated in Siemens Green School took place. During the ceremony volunteers shared their impressions and discussed further plans to improving the Siemens Green School program, while also certificates for outstanding volunteers were delivered. ‘The 4th Siemens Green School Olympiad’ will be held on August 8 at Seoul National University as an environmental-science competition, with the elementary school students who participated in the program from February to July this year.
