Singapore's roving eco exhibition: Fun, games and competition

It's the roving interactive exhibition with a green message -- climate change is important. Mobile Earth Stations will be making their rounds around Singapore as part of a nationwide initiative to get the young thinking about what they can do to save the earth. 

With fun facts ranging from pollution to the global warming process and even the solar system, the climate change exhibition aims to engage children about climate change issues through games and quizzes, as well as using simple explanations and interesting graphics.

"Educating our young is really the foundation for a greener society and it's a long-term investment," said Howard Shaw, executive director of the Singapore Environment Council, to Channel NewsAsia. "[The exhibition is] really to provide outreach and to make learning a bit more fun and less dry for our young. We find that they are so much more receptive to the content when it's something that they think is cool, it's fun to play with, and there's an element of competition in it too."

For a start, the stations will be loaned to schools, but organizers also plan to place them temporarily at community clubs and shopping malls in the future. If you're interested in borrowing the mobile Earth Station for a two-week period, take a look at www.climatechange.sg.
