Highlights include the "Talking Plant" exhibits where plants "introduce" themselves by providing fascinating biological information, and an interactive Photosynthesis Simulator which allows plants to "speak" about their photosynthesis status based on light and water levels. As part of our Gardening Lab and Eco-Garden programme, students have developed a cutting-edge Smart Garden system that provides automated watering solutions integrated with our irrigation and rainwater harvesting systems. They also created a vibrant Friendly Garden Zone designed to attract pollinators, fostering biodiversity and teaching real-world ecological solutions. These projects empower our students to lead with creativity and purpose while making a positive impact on our environment.
