Ocean Adaptation Challenge 

During the June holidays, four students from Nanyang Nature Society - Hanyi, Yiming, Tiffany and Valery - participated in a week-long programme organised by the Singapore Oceanarium in anticipation of the new Oceanarium's launch. They learnt about biomimicry and how marine animals adapt to survive in the wild. As a team, they designed a prototype to tackle ocean pollution, utilising 3D modelling to showcase their ideas. On 26th July, they had the opportunity to share their project at the Oceanarium's opening and were proud to receive the Silver award in the junior category.

First runner up for the Most Creative Award for ViaRT 2024 Upcycled Art Competition

"The Last Iceberg"

By Feng Han Yi, Liu Yuling Crystal and Cheng Han Ru, Lanette

Description of artwork:

"The Last Iceberg" is a conceptual 3D artwork that reflects the critical consequences of climate change on our planet, when global temperatures exceeds the 1.5°C limit set by the Paris Agreement.

This piece is inspired by the devastating but imminent reality of a warming world where the last remaining fragments of ice symbolise a fragile environment on the brink of collapse. The artwork’s pyramid shape, with animals and ice at the peak, emphasises that our ecosystems—and the diversity of life they support—are precariously balanced, at risk of toppling with every degree of temperature rise. Conversely, the submerged section of the iceberg represents the unseen forces driving the rise of climate change, where the plastic bags symbolise pollution, excessive waste, and human activity. By placing them below the waterline, we emphasise how these hidden factors, often ignored or overlooked, are at the root of the climate crisis. 

The structure of the artwork is built on a foundation of upcycled materials, including A3 wood as the base, pieces of styrofoam representing melting icebergs, and plastic bags representing pollution.

With "The Last Iceberg", we invite viewers to reflect on their role in environmental preservation, consider the impact of their actions and to see the beauty in what remains. We hope that eventually, the collective action from every one of us, can prevent the last iceberg from melting away.

Silver award under the Project Awards category for "Save That Pen" 2021 

Roots and Shoots Award by Jane Goodall Institute. 

NYNS introduced the "Save That Pen" initiative to our school with the aim of creating an avenue to reuse and donate pens, with the greater purpose of giving back to society, and at the same time, reducing plastic waste. 

Collection bins were placed around the campus to collect used pens from our schoolmates and teachers to be recycled. Pens in good condition would be refilled, for donation to those in need.
