TWAC end of year reflection

This year, Technology with a Cause in AISR has achieved a lot of its main goals. The group consisted of six people plus our club sponsor, Mr. Pelletier. Togther, we were able to:
  • Set up recycling bins all around the school. We have set out more than ten bins. In each spot of the campus, there is one visible bin in sight. We have also been promoting the bins, and now finally they are starting to fill up with useful, recyclable materials.
  • Make Earth Hour bigger and better. We had two assemblies: one for middle school and one for high school. In it, we showed a video which we made and incorporated other clips into. In the assembly, we also shared inspiring excerpts of a book called Hot, Flat, and Crowded.
  • Purchase recycling bins for paper. During Earth Hour, we sold t-shirts. Per t-shirt we only made a few riyals of profit, but it was enough to purchase paper recycling bins for the entire school.
TWAC 2008/09 has been a great year. We thank our supervisor Mr. Pelletier for all his work and help. He ran the group and none of this would be accomplished without him. Thanks, Mr. Pelletier.
