Solar Pi

The last exploration of this year is Solar Pi.  The goal of this exploration is to create a successful computer lab that will be located in the government school. The lab will be running by solar power and the computer will run by the Raspberry Pi which is like a small computer. Most importantly, we highly hope that this computer lab will help to improve some of Cambodians with their study. 

In the computer, we will include the 3D design program called FreeCAD because as we can see nowadays, many computer labs do not have these type of program. Moreover, we will have Edemy; an English learning website created by Cambodian as a part of our curriculum.  We decided to encompass those two main courses because as we can see Cambodia today, does not have these type creative technologies. 

In class, we were working different jobs such as; how do we run a screen to the raspberry pi and how will that connect to the solar panels. In addition, we had to find a school that is good enough to get this lab in their school and how will the school use this lab as a part of their curriculum. Also, some of our teammates were working on creating tutorials for the FreeCAD to help the users to begin their lesson. 

Since we have a lot of work to get done, we do not have enough time, so we are going to continue to the next round of exploration which is next year of school. Our goal for the next round is to figure out the school to install the lab and keep in touch with them.  Lastly, we would love to see the successful lab that will be installed.

Drone

It’s my second joining drone ASE (After School Extension). For the few weeks of the ASE, we’ve been filming all kind of sports that we have in Liger such as; soccer, running, biking, yoga, badminton, basketball,  swimming, and frisbee. After, get all those football, our friend Makara had to combine those footages and make a cool short video of it.

After finishing sports in Liger, we’re starting to film many cool stuff at our new football field. On 24th, January, our drone team try to gather many people as possible such as Junior Cohort, Senior Cohort, staff and of course our school director to film a mannequin challenge using drone. Our friend, Samnang N is the one who is filming and we are all trying to help and give advice to him about what he should do. After about 10 minutes, we are success with our filming. We all like the result that we got, it’s turn out great and the footage was so smooth.   

On our exploration trip (Preventative Health), we also get to used drone to film a lot of cool footages of the Koh Rong island and the Palm Beach village. We got to see the whole view of the beaches there which is so beautiful that we can’t even describe. Moreover, when we took the boat ride, we try to film follow the boat which is a hard footage to get. However, we tried our best to do it even if there are a lot of wind and hard to control the drone. It was one of my memorable moments of the trip. If I have a chance to back again later, I’ll try to get more and more interesting footages of the island.

Preventative Health Exploration

I was in this incredible exploration called “Preventative Health.” Our goal for this exploration is to help the people in Koh Rong island about health issues. We mainly focus on two problems are dental care and balance diet.

 

We were dividing into two group which focus on two different things such as dental care and balance diet. The first few weeks of the class we’ve been researching about the dental care and balance diet issues in Cambodia and how can we prevent it. After getting enough important information, we’re making it into a play to show to the people on the island because we think that it’s the best idea to make the remember the information that we’re giving them.

 

When we went on a trip to Koh Rong, there are a lot of activities that are new to me such as snorkeling, scuba diving, doing the play to the communities on the island about preventative health and learned about the marine life. We took a lot of boat ride to many places on the island to do the play and also snorkeling. Moreover, I really enjoy the boat ride that we took on the last day at night to see the bioluminescent in the middle of the sea. We not only did a lot of snorkeling but also hiking to the waterfall which is such a long where to go.

 

One of my favorite highlights are snorkeling and scuba diving in Song Saa private coral reef. Moreover, I get to see many living organisms there such as butterfly fish and lots of baby jellyfishes and it was my dream to go snorkeling at the coral reef and this exploration made my dream come true! Especially, I got to present to the people there about preventative health and have a lot of fun playing games with the kids and talking to them about their community. I want to a part of this kind of exploration again! I would like to visit Koh Rong once again!
