This workshop will introduce the fundamentals of Arduino programming to integrate PPG sensor and LCD display in Workshop 4.

Workshop 3: Introduction to Arduino

_________________________________________


This workshop will introduce the fundamentals of Arduino programming to integrate PPG sensor and LCD display in Workshop 4.

Workshop 4: Photoplethysmography

_________________________________________


Laboratory practical session where students will then gain experience in programming both a PPG sensor and LCD display with an Arduino microcontroller before integrating them into a working medical device prototype capable of measuring and displaying their heart rate.

Workshop 6: Sustainable construction materials – how we can get to Net Zero Carbon?____________________________________
This workshop explores sustainable construction in Singapore, featuring the Green Mark Scheme, innovative materials like biochar and LC3, and hands-on Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) activities to evaluate material sustainability.

Workshop 1: Introduction to Climate Change
_________________________________________


This workshop explores the science of climate change, the human activities driving it, and strategies to reduce emissions, enhance carbon capture, and build climate resilience.

Workshop 2: Introduction to Coastal Protection
_________________________________________


This workshop explores the impact of sea level rise and extreme weather on Singapore, highlights key Coastal Protection and Floor Resilience Institute (CFI) research areas, and introduces wave hydrodynamics research.

Workshop 3: Introduction to Nature-Based Solutions
_________________________________________


This lecture explores how coastal ecosystems like mangroves and seagrass protect shorelines from climate change, with participants designing adaptation solutions and analysing wave mechanics using nature-based and traditional methods.

Workshop 4: Introduction to Green Concrete and 3D Printing
_________________________________________


This lecture covers the introduction of green concrete and its environmental impact, along with current measures to reduce the ecological footprint of traditional concrete. It also explores 3D concrete printing (3DCP) and highlights NUS's latest advancements in this innovative technology.

Labwork 2: Artificial Coral Reefs
_________________________________________


In this lab session, students will explore the upcycling of solid waste into green concrete for construction purposes and assess the performance of 3D printed concrete, focusing on its strength, dimensional stability, and durability in coastal protection applications.

Workshop 5: Coastal Resilience: A Landscape Approach 
_________________________________________


This lecture introduces landscape architecture approaches to coastal resilience, exploring urban, social, and cultural factors, the impact of climate change on cities, and the role of communities in nature-based solutions. These concepts will be illustrated through landscape architecture student design work on the Singapore Long Island project.
