Students took part in a third project with Air Selangor and were given a problem statement to overcome the increased water consumption in SS15, Subang Jaya. This project was especially important as their own campus and many student accommodations were also located there, making them a direct stakeholder in this project. According to Subang Jaya assemblyman YB Michelle Ng: “The students provided solutions to conserve water such as reward systems and campaigns to spread awareness in the neighbourhood and in their own campus. These young minds are put in the driver’s seat to develop new strategies to overcome problems that were always taken for granted, and allowed them to put their minds together to think out of the box.”
