DNI students participated in the Cleanwater Competition organized by Singapore Polytechnic in February. This competition required the students to construct a water filtration system using just sand, charcoal or pebbles that is capable of filtering dirty, colored water into clear, potable water. The students spent a couple of weeks before the competition trying out different combinations of the materials, and compared the results of the filtration before deciding on the best combination for the competition.
Although when the competition results were announced, the students did not clinch any prize, but they really cherish the learning process and the fun they had and the friendship they forged during the entire training. In retrospect, one would say that these are more important than the prize itself!
