Congratulations on winning the PS21 ExCEL Convention Best Ideator (Gold) Award.
We would like to take this opportunity to not only further recognise your efforts but also to seek your help to inspire others on the journey towards innovation and excellence in public service. We plan to do this through specially designed posters which will be displayed in MOE HQ. Please find attached the draft version of the poster which is still a work in progress.
These posters will require your input in the following areas.
(A) Request for inputs to question
Please share your thoughts/views to the following question in no more than 100 words. Please note that we would be summarising/paraphrasing where necessary to cater to space available.
1. Where do you normally get inspiration for your ideas? OR What do you do when you need ideas to solve a problem?
My answer:
Take the idea of free access to
quality physics education and the way people learn by doing,
the Open Source Physics and Easy Java Simulation projects
provides ordinary mortals like teachers and students, a
simple way to design their own computational physics
simulation-model. Therefore, anyone can freely access,
explore, understand, describe, explain, and predict these
physics phenomena modeled.
This idea is my life where I
think, dream and live Open Source Physics through remixing
and re-purposing simulations to meet teachers' and students'
learning needs at no additional cost plus creative licensing
so that anyone can change the source codes legally.
Please submit your response to me by 16 Nov 2012 (Friday).
(B) Photo Shoot for the Poster
Based on the attached draft poster, we would require a good quality photo of you. We will be arranging for a photo shoot session some time this month and will inform you once the details are confirmed.
Should you have any enquiries please feel free to contact me Aainaa or my colleague Ms Yvonne Chong (yvonne_chong@moe.gov.sg, ). Thank you and once again, our heartiest congratulations to you for winning the award.
