The 11th International Biomedical Quiz 2022 Gold and Silver Medal Winners
Congratulations to 10 of the SWA student participants who took part and won gold & silver medals in the 11th International Biomedical Quiz 2022. Hosted by the Anglo-Chinese Junior College's Science and Mathematics Council (ACUC SMC), this international competition provides a platform for students to develop their aptitude and potential in the biomedical disciplines through independent work and applying critical thinking to solve authentic medical challenges.
Since January, SWA students spent some time preparing themselves both after school and on weekends. Participants were judged based on a DP and university-level understanding of selected topics on Oncology, spanning the broad range of knowledge in our understanding of cancers, how they develop, how they are diagnosed, and how they are treated. This includes the science of cell biology and how normal biological processes are subverted in cancer.
Once again congrats and keep up the great work!

International Baccalaureate's (IB) Middle Years Programme Innovators' Grant Awardee
Congratulations to Sanandha who is chosen to be awarded the International Baccalaureate's (IB) Middle Years Programme Innovators' Grant! The grant seeks applications from MYP years 4-5 students who are motivated to start or continue a social impact initiative. Only a handful of 30 students were selected from across IB schools around the globe and the winners are eligible to receive Dr Siva Kumari MYP Student Innovators' Grant.
Sana focuses her project in the challenges faced by women during menstruation among ""Manusia Gerobak"" or the cart people. As the world flattens, globalization and modernization rise, overshadowing many underprivileged. Sana refused to forget these people, and through her project.
"I completed a study on the prevalence of period poverty among the gerobak women in my community. The study proved that women who live below the poverty lines do not prioritize their hygiene and health. There was enough information to conclude that period poverty is indeed high among the homeless women. After the completion of the study, I distribute hygiene packages to the homeless women. But to take the initiative to the next level, a pilot project was undertaken to install a sanitary napkin vending machine in Bandung to dispense napkins" said Sana.
Her projects were selected after a competitive two-stage application and review process and are required to exercise advocacy for authenticity, social impact, and personal connection towards the initiative. Each winner is entitled for a funding of up to USD 10,000 to support project financial needs and ensure project success.
Once again congratulations Sana, we are so proud of you!

Only a handful of 30 students were selected from across IB schools around the globe and the winners are eligible to receive Dr Siva Kumari MYP Student Innovators' Grant.
Ayden's project, "Reimaging Agricultural Vehicles: TeZoid: Auto-Regulated Wireless Recharging Mechanism with A.l. to surge agricultural growth".

"The rapid advancements in the sphere of agriculture have led to the development of agricultural vehicles, which has played a central role in increasing agricultural competence and minimizing chronic hunger rates around the globe. Be that as it may, the growing human population has placed immense pressure on agricultural vehicles, of which have grown over-dependent on diesel fuels - a major contributor to global emissions and deteriorating health worldwide. Through this grant, I aim to change the lives of many communities to alleviate the sufferings and hunger of millions around the globe", explain Ayden.
