Motivation

As technology advances, the human-nature relationship has become increasingly intricate and delicate, as can be seen by human continual invasion into and explitation of nature and natural disasters closely connected to human's ever-aggresive move. At the same time, however, people still lack very basic knowledge about the environment and have few awareness of the consequences. Hence, in order to raise people's environmental awarnesss and provide them with interesting overview of environmental knonwledge, the club gives lectures based on AP Environmental Science, offers an assortment of entertaining videos to explain harsh concepts as well as natural disasters, shows some environment-related projects my classmates and I had worked on to encourage members to take actions as well, invites club members to address case studies and give public speechs to their understanding and solutions to these situations.

Overview

In every class, I will first provide club members with some background knowledge about certain topic, and then dive deeper into a specific case study. They then have discussions about the causes and possible solutions to that case, and are welcome to give a presentation of their ideas, after which the audience will start making critics and giving review about the presentation. Several people can go on stage until the time limit is up. Finally, I will assign homework to them, mostly including reading and solving problems, and, more importantly and interestingly, they can apply any art form to display what they learn in the lecture and post them on the school's bulletin board to let more people know our fruits.

Sometimes, I, along with my classmates, will present our projects that have made some progress to club members. Since most of the club's members adopt Gaokao system rather than the international AP system I'm taking, they have only a little time to engage in our club activities. Therefore, we will select some pretty neat projects to them to convey the message that, as high school student, we can still make our own contribution to the society, in the hope that after they enter colleges when they have much more time other than spending purely on studies, they will start doing projects like us.
