PLASTIC PLASTIC EVERYWHERE! – "Breaking the Plastic Spell House Competition"

The Plastic Bottle Upcycling Challenge

Plastic bottles, a major part of the single-use plastic waste generated, can be easily repurposed and converted into useful articles. Through this competition, we aim to make students realize how irresponsible use of single-use plastic must be addressed, and reusing existing plastic can play a small but important role in this.

Together with climate change, plastic pollution is one of the most challenging problems of our time. We get weekly news about the extent of the problem, with microplastics being discovered in the most remote parts of the planet and inside the most diverse life forms. There is a vivid discussion on ways to address the issue, and the best way to do it is to set some solid foundation.

In this session, the students learnt about the properties of plastic by comparing it with other materials. They will also realise that, unlike popular belief, plastic is a precious material and needs to be treated as such. They also understood that all these properties make plastic long-lasting, durable, and economical. That makes plastic a precious material and also harms the environment because of how it is used. And students learnt about single-use and reusable plastics, knowing that once discarded, both cause equal harm and that it is important to avoid/reduce and students learnt about the new uses of plastic waste in the construction industry and how to upcycle plastic bottles to create eco-bricks.

This special feature focuses on how one's mindset plays an important role in life. A growth mindset is a belief in oneself and one's abilities. This mindset teaches that talent and abilities are not fixed and that effort can enhance intelligence over time. It also encourages one to think positively in the face of setbacks and not give up easily.

In this two-day program, the students learn about fixed and growth mindsets and the difference between the two. They learn to apply the growth mindset approaches to their daily lives and will observe how they benefit them. The activities designed for this feature will prepare the students to adapt and develop themselves to have a growth mindset.
