On November 28 2023, the Green Scientist event was held as the final project for the ecological dynamics course in the UTHM student exchange program. This event was hosted by Dr. Nor Atiqah Binti Norazlimi as lecturer in Ecological Dynamics with management from 3BWW UTHM students and UGM students (Haiqa Khizaya Baskoro, Laila Nurul Ilma, Putri Fredicia Marzuqoh, and Feny Nur Nucifera). This event was attended by several invited guests, UTHM lecturers and attended by 2 senior high schools in Johor who were accompanied by their respective homeroom teachers. At this event, UGM students acted as LOs who picked up and welcomed invited guests.
This event applies the concept of learning while playing where participants must complete each question and game at each stand. Each group gets a score and later, the group with the highest score will get an award. The event began with an opening by the committee followed by random group division to complete the game. 3BWW UTHM students and UGM students played a role in explaining different material at each stand according to their respective divisions. This material is the essence of the knowledge gained from the ecological dynamics course. After the material is explained, participants are asked to answer the questions and complete the game at each stand and then accumulate their scores.
After the game session was finished, the event continued with the main event in the form of the inauguration of the Green Scientist event by invited guests. As a symbol, a small experiment was carried out on stage in the form of lighting a fire using washing bubbles. The event continued with giving prizes to the group with the highest score and giving mementos from UTHM to the two high schools. This event is in the context of making the 4th SDG a success, namely improving quality education.
