Throughout the program, club members created posters, drawings, and presentations, watched educational videos, and actively participated in class discussions. They also explored their environment through nature walks and produced creative projects such as dioramas, which helped reinforce their understanding of the topics while encouraging observation and hands-on learning.
More than 60 club members participated in the program during the month, participating in presentations, discussions, and creative projects that promoted curiosity, critical thinking, and a practical understanding of environmental science. Through these activities, they developed a stronger awareness of environmental challenges and learned ways to help prevent and reduce these threats.
