Role:
I was part of the organizing committee for this webinar also I had to assume the role of the EMCE as well for the session.
Mini report :
SEMINAR : GREEN TECHNOLOGY IN CLIMATE ACTION was supposed to be a seminar to spread more knowledge regarding use of innovative and sustainable technologies to address the challenges posed by climate change and reduce the environmental impact of human activities. These technologies aim to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions, enhance energy efficiency, promote renewable energy sources, and foster sustainable development practices. Sadly, this event was moved to a virtual platform as most of the student went back to their homes during semester break. The main focus of the session was how green Microalgae and spirulina can change the agriculture and mass animal production. The speaker of the session was Assoc. Prof Dr. Nor Azimah. She shared about her research on microalgae and how they are trying to completely remove the usage of chemical fertilizer and animal feed with microalgae which produce better result and it is more eco friendly as it produces oxygen and the production for this doesn’t require any emission of any kind of greenhouse gass whereas production of normal fertilizer and animal feed produces a huge amount of green house gases. The main goal of this event was to let the common people know that everyone has a part to play to protect our environment also how the current people working to preserve the natural beauty of our precious earth.
Self reflection :
As a committee member my role was to find a speaker related to the topic and convince them to take a session. During this period, I struggled a lot as I had to contact a lot of professors and industry professionals to join this event. To be completely honest there was a lot of rejection. I secured a learning partner from SUNWAY university but at the last minute he had some emergency hence I had to start the search all over again until I found our wonderful speaker Dr. Nur Azima. After that I had help with the promotion of the event as well as prepare the poster. And as for being the EMCE this was my first time being an EMCE for a event this big. I was quite nervous but at the end I was quite glad that I was chosen to be the EMCE as it kind of helped me get out of my comfort zone and improve my public speaking skill. Also the whole session was kind of inspiring as it made me want to follow a career in researching as I saw how this can have a big impact in our society as well. And It also opened my eyes that as long as I have the will and a good enough idea I can go in pursuit of that which kind of brings out a bit of entrepreneurship touch as I felt that I can also start my own business in IT sector.
