A gist of online interview with Ms Katalin Sagi, the CEO of the Innovative Education Council, Finland with winners of Collins Smart Tech 1.0.

Q1. What encouraged you to participate in the competition?

1.    How did you hear about it?

2.    What was your motivation?

3.    Have you been learning coding before?

   Ans-1 1. Our coordinator ma'am and our mentor share the details related to this competition before it was started.

2. The coding was the main factor that encouraged me to participate in this competition. Even this was an opportunity to learn something new which was making a game on scratch and even using JavaScript in making the website. Also, this was an opportunity for me to learn about the SDGs more thoroughly. So, I decided to enter this competition and learn something innovative.

3. Yes, I learnt HTML, C++ and python in school and I have done many courses on Coursera related to coding.

Q2. Would the students like to participate in similar competitions internationally in the future?

A2. Yes, it would be great if we are getting some opportunities to participate in such coding competitions internationally. It would develop our confidence for using technology, it will engage us in learning and doing something innovative. Even, it will increase our capability of working in a team as we will learn teamwork, sportsman spirit and many qualities which will always be helpful in our life.

Q3. How did you set up your team at school, how did the team members find each other?

Ans-3 We were selected by our mentors, we belong to different classes. So we collaborated, explored and shared our own knowledge of scratch, HTML tags, 

Since the schools were closed. So, we connected through an online platform . 

Q4. How was it for the students to work together in designing and coding the game and the website?

Ans-4 . It was a fabulous experience for me to work in a team. We worked all together using an online platform. Everyone was participating equally. All of us knew about coding a little bit so it was very helpful to design and create the game as well as the website. All of us were given different tasks like Devansh, Pranav and punyam were working with the coding, I and angel explored all the images,sounds, videos for the game and website.

Q5. How does your school feel about the SDGs?

Ans-5 Our school is always ready to follow the goals and become the member of these crucial issues so that they can be achieved. The school has solar panels at the terries which are a supply of energy through the school. Even we are always taught to obey the SDGs and our science teacher teaches us about different SDGs.  

Q6. How have your team or school benefited from this competition?

A6. This competition increased our knowledge about SDGs, how, why, when the UN has developed it, which are the most critical issues damaging our environment and how we can become a member of the SDG Goals so that they can be achieved and we would have a safe and clean world. It teaches me that working together can be helpful in overcoming any challenge like all the countries across the globe working together to come out from these threats.

Q7. Tell us more about how your team selected the SDG or SDGs to use in your project?

Ans-7 We all researched about the different SDGs and found that climatic conditions of our mother Earth are changing which is a very critical issue to be solved. So, we searched for what is the major reason in the change of climate and found that Carbon Emissions is increasing the temperature of Earth which leads to melting of polar ice-caps, disturbance in animals’ natural habitat, increase of temperature etc. All these issues gave us a clean idea to choose Carbon Footprint as our topic. Even very few people are aware of Climate change and its actions, so it was a great topic to spread awareness and help for this issue.
