Coding Exploration

This is the last round of exploration before summer. This is a special exploration where we have a professional coder as our teacher. In this exploration we learn how to make game. The game that we make are connected to the economic book that we have wrote. In this game we use four programming language such as JavaScript, HTML and CSS. We mainly use JavaScript for our game. So how we work together as a team with 16 student? So first we divide into four group with four student each. There are Engine team, Data team, User Interface (UI) team and Tutorial team. The Engine team is designing the structure of the game. The Data team Is the team that organize all the data and event in the game. The UI is really important it’s the one who make animation and design what the game should look like. Last but not least Tutorial team is team is work on teaching people how to play our game. So I’m in the data team. My team work is to organize all the data for the Engine team to work with. At last we can indicated that we done 90% of the work but it’s turn out that our game would work in the slow computer.

Entrepreneurship

This is my fourth year in The Liger Learning Center. One of the most important exploration in this was entrepreneurship. In this exploration we learn how to make a business which is making chili sauce. All the student need to be in this exploration. So we have four group of 12 to 13 students in each exploration term. I am in the third group of this exploration. In each exploration we divide into many deference team to work on deference thing. In this round of exploration we have four deference team. They are Label team, Outreach team, Legal team and Product Development team. So I’m in Label team. In the last two exploration we have notice how important is the label. The reason that the label are really important is because label is the first thing see from your product. Another reason why it so important is because label is the one that make your product jump out of from other product. But It turn out we not really good at turning the drawing into victor, professional label. So we got a really good opportunity to work with a professional company for free. We work with a company named CBX. CBX is a brand agency based in New York city and it has it’s office all over the country. We work with one of its office in Minnesota. We video call with them once a week. The First week that we mate them they give a very good idea on how to named your company (name bucket). Then we draw out the label from the name that we have. Then we sent them the drawing to turn it into victor design. After we get the first draft we give them feedback to change some part of it so we get what we want.
This the Label that they that we have.

Sonnet Poem

In literacy class with Jan we mainly learn to improve our pronunciation. We also learn how to write poems. This is a poem that I has made with my friend (Chhoeu).
Please enjoy!

The boys are walking to an awesome park
Then they both went to swim in a blue sea
They have a contest to race with a shark
They didn’t want to cause they weren’t ready.

After the race they went to get some drinks
The choices are coffee, coke and Pepsi
They both wanted to purchase their own thing
One guide buy coke and others buy coffee.

They are still wanted to do a treatment
There were many people who in the room
They both get no place to join an event
After that they heard a sound boom! boom! boom!

They both were thinking that it was a crime
Then they both got to the checkout ontime.

Drone Expert

This is the first exploration that lead by students. My exploration was about drone. In this exploration we learn how to fly and take footage with drone. First we started with a cheap plastic drone. Then when comfortable with it, we bought a professional drone which is DJI Phantom 3 Advanced. With this new drone we use it for a new business which is drone service. We have a new company name Cambodia Aerial Photography (CAP). This business is started by Four students from the Liger Learning Center (LLC). The Reason why we started this business is because we just want to pay back to LLC for the price of the drone. So far we have 8 pilot (4 boys, 4 girls).

Marine Conservation is a group of 12 student from Liger Learning Center that learn about marine conservation during a seven week long project.The group researched and learn more about marine life and understand the recent problems of marine ecosystems in Cambodia. The goal of this project is to protect Cambodia marine ecosystems. To accomplish this goal we work very hard to finish our Proposal for a Feasibility Study of Algal Farming as an Alternative Livelihood for Cambodian Fishermen. This document explain the problem of Cambodia marine ecosystems, possible solution, proposal for a feasibility study for Liger student in study year of 2016-2017 and information about what we doing in pilot exploration. We took a field trip to Koh Seh in Kep province to visit MCC Marine Conservation Cambodia. MCC is a organization that protect Cambodian marine ecosystems. We spent 1 week with them and we got to learn so many thing from them. We learn about marine organism, history of the island and last thing was snorkel and scuba diving. We not just learning we also do beach clean up. We collect about 130 kg of trash in an hour.

On 1/12/15 is a special day for Liger. There are around 50 top educator from Phnom Penh coming to Liger, to see what Liger education look like. All of the student were presenting to them about part of Liger learning program. I was presenting about one of Liger learning program called STEAM. STEAM is stand for Science Technology Engineering Art and Math. In STEAM we have an activity name Roller Coaster. In this activity we let them build a roller coaster with a highest. In this activity the student be the guy who giving some idea but not helping them building it. We use the foam representing roller coaster track and mable representing roller coaster car. The resent that we do the roller coaster activity because we want to shear them how we learn STEAM in liger. Also we want to show them that they can find a simple activity in their school that make student understand the concept easily.

I go to an unusual school.This school is called Liger Learning Center (LLC). LLC is an international school that has both Cambodian and foreign teachers. LLC has 50 Cambodian students (25 boys, 25 girls) that are really smart. These students work together to change Cambodia. In our learning program we have a class called exploration. It is not just learning from a book or internet, We go out to explore and see the real world. The teacher does not teach us,they just help and guide us. Some explorations are led by students. We learn two languages (Khmer and English). I love this school and I alway love it’s learning program that why alway make it different from other school in Cambodia.

These are some Photos that show how Liger is an unusual shcool.

We go out to different places in Cambodia and out side of the country (Singapore) and have new opportunity.

Bunong exploration

[wr_row][wr_column]Exploration: Bunong minority

Number of students: 12

Duration: 10 Aug­30 Sep

Learning Facilitators: Phearun/ Jaime

Essential Questions:

1. What are the values and traditions for Bunong minorities?

2. How have they preserved their cultural traditions sustainably?

3. What are the issues they are facing in their living situation presently?

4. What are there different life cycle between Bunong and Khmer people?

5. What are the differences of lifestyles between Bunong and Khmer people?

6. How does their education differ from Liger or government schools?

7. What are the advantages and disadvantages of their cultural superstitions?

Description:

Almost all countries of the world are existing minorities, including Cambodia as well. There are approximately

twenty indigenous minorities living in Cambodia, which most of them inhabit the Northeast and East. In this

exploring project, we will basically study about Bunong people who is one of the Cambodian indigenous

minorities. Students will conduct cultural studies, particularly their culture, belief, lifestyle, interaction, tradition,

right, living situation and so on. In this research, students will partly focus on the present issues applying

influences over their living conditions. The faith, which is a crucial component, will be proposed to students to

explore as it is supposed to be a fascinating topic and different from Khmer majorities. Also, we will find out

how they are able to preserve their cultural traditions even it’s currently under the management of government

authorities. Increasingly, we will have a field trip to Mondulkiri, where Bunong communities are situated in, to

discover directly from them by interviewing and seeing obvious aspects surrounding them. The trip will be

collaborated with ICSO, which is closely working with indigenous communities in Cambodia. After seven weeks

over the course, students will be able to illustrate their understandings of Bunong people and be aware of

current issues they are facing, so they can find some solutions to cope with those. Students will publish a book

with photographs, that will be described, they captured as their final product of the exploration to share with

government schools in Cambodia, as well as the world. Additionally, they will have practiced with learning

outcome skills such as interviewing, presentation, computer development and experienced learning outside the

classroom and expertise with photographs.[/wr_column]][wr_text]Exploration: Bunong minority
