The Overseas School of Colombo Students Take Part in the Slingshot ...
A National Geographic Society Global Youth Initiative where Students Shine a Light on Ocean Acidification Through a Wonder Lab InnovationThree students from The Overseas School of Colombo (OSC) joined the Slingshot Challenge, a global initiative that aims to inspire youth, ages 13-18, to tackle the planet’s environmental issues. Supported by the National Geographic Society and the Allen Family Philanthropies, the challenge engages and supports the next generation of stewards for the planet. To participate in the challenge, students created a one-minute video outlining an innovative solution to an environmental issue they’re passionate about. Students participated through their After School Activity (ASA) Wonder Lab where they followed National Geographic's Wonder Learning Strategies and Explorer Mindset to explore real-world challenges through experimentation, field work, research, innovation and creative expression. Students focused on ocean conservation. The underlying idea of the project: “Sri Lanka’s Acidification Exposed” was based on investigating Sri Lanka’s surrounding ocean using cutting edge technology, where scientists describe ocean acidification in Sri Lanka as an understudied concern. “Through research and inquiry, we explored how rising carbon dioxide levels impact marine ecosystems and coastal communities” said Alessandro Nereo Francovigh. The students chose to respond by creating a collection of stories designed to raise awareness and make the issue more accessible to the public through storytelling. Inspired by the Story of Place approach developed by National Geographic Explorer Erika Larsen, their work connects to science, people, and place through visual stories to raise awareness and connect people more deeply to this environmental issue. “Our motivation for participating was a passion for science to create a positive change within the community we live in,” said Vasilissa Munasighe. The International Baccalaureate (IB) programme at The Overseas School of Colombo provides students with an opportunity to gain knowledge through hands-on experimentation and real-world applications in the science subjects. “The inspiration came from the ocean acidification lab experiment we did in 10th grade, we decided to explore the issue in depth and take action. Thanks to the science department's support we were able to turn an idea into a reality” said Haocheng Tang. “We are very fortunate to have a meticulous and well-rounded science programme at OS...
