High Altitude Balloons & Miniature Probes
In this hands-on programme, participants will be introduced to high-altitude balloons and probes that can be used to monitor the environment. Participants will have the opportunity to create miniature probes from recycled materials, then release them from a tethered balloon system at a height of around 100 m. Mini-competitions such best design, best estimation of landing point, etc will be conducted to maximise the fun.

Incident Command System
This Incident Command System (ICS) is a standardized framework that enables federal, state and local government to work together to prepare for, mitigate, prevent, respond and recover from the effects of incidents. ICS is developed mainly by the United States Forest Services (USFS) and had now been used by more than 20 countries.
Through discussion and exercise, participants will:
- Be able to understand the overview of the Incident Command System and how it works in an incident.
- Be able to understand the role of the Incident Commander and the Command and General Staff.
- Be able to understand and develop Specific, Measurable, Action-Oriented (SMART) objectives.
