Facts from Week (1),

What did we learn in the first week guys? Do you still remember?!!! Let me share with you what did I learned and I experienced during the first week at Petrosains involving in PETROSAINS-UTP Science Communication Program.

1) Build simply a very strong structure from newspapers and it should stand when you throw it from 6 feet height.>> Concept behind it is… ice-breaking. My point of views, you can reach your goal from whatever you have. NEVER, say “impossible.”

2) Wherever you are, you should know what to do in case of emergency. Please, ask yourself this question, can I use the Extinguisher fire. Do you know what do to do in case of earthquake? If you know that would be good. If not, please go and try to find it out. DO SEARCH or ask to know what you do not know. It is important facts for you and every one.

Break:

To be played with a group of people. It starts with organizing the group member as a circle. Now let’s start the game, one member of the group starts to say big fish and show by his hands small fish. He says differently than what he shows. The one beside him will say small fish and shows big fish and so on. If some one said the same thing the one before him said so the game will reverse to the other direction. Play it in fast and any one does mistakes, he should go out till the last one who is going to be the winner.

Have fun playing it.

2) As a member of an operation department:

2.1 Always, greet and welcome your customers.
2.2 deal with different people in different ways.
2.3 Get customers’ feedback.

Let me ask you a question. Let’s say that you work in an operation department. Your department is to receive customers’ items such as letters. One of the customers has collected his item and then he/ she said he/she did not collect it. What you are going to do at that time?

Basically, you can show the customer the recorder which shows he/she has collected the item. Let his/her fill up a feedback form. Deal with your customer in a proper way and always be calm informant of them. 2.4 Do you know how to be professional?!! Master your job. 2.5 Have the power of three to master your job. Have you ever heard about “Power of three.”? Power of three is: power of attract, power of hold and power of communicate.

3) There are 3 science shows and 6 mini shows at Petrosains.

4) The discovery center at Petrosains defines program as in rich and out rich. In rich is the activities done inside Petrosains while out rich is the activities done out side Petrosains. This department organizes the activities and the shows for those people can not come to KLCC to visit Petrosains. I like this, because there are people in different cities are not able to come to Petrosains and see the shows. So that Petrosains eases it and go to them.

5) The difference between Research and Evaluate(R&E)? In which depends on the context.
6) The role of Creativity in R&E has a value.
7) We can be creative. Creativity is not some thing you born with.
8) The creative is consist of SEEING what everyone else has seen, THINKING what no one else has thought, and DOING what no one else has dared!

9) A talent and thus, effortless is NOT creativity.

10) Lateral thinking is when there are many answers of a problem.

11) Ways to measure creativity: -originality - Intellectual leadership. - Sensitivity - Ingenuity - Unusualness

12) To the creative mind, the world is a wonderland of possibilities!

13) Let us do this test to our mind. Try to say fast and a bit loud the color othe following words:

RED BLUE YELLOW BLACK GREEN

14) We will find it difficult to differentiate the words and the colours because we are trained to be logic-oriented.

15) What do you think of this picture? Do you like it? How much do you think it costs??!!! It is for Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I by Gustav Klimt Sold for $135 million on June 18, 2006

16) Spinning a top.
the concept...balance.

17) Balloon. You know that we can pass a … throw a balloon without pop it. Simply this can happen by choosing the right point to pass the through it which is either at the top of it or at the bottom where there the stress is less.
