This happened during Karnival Kreativiti dan Inovasi PdPc Peringkat Kebangsaan 2019 held at IPGM Kampus Sultan Mizan last month. It was an eye-opening event for both of us. Mind you, although Perky Piung is a doll, I always considered her as a separate entity from me. Haha

Our humble booth

Ready for the judges!

We came into the event with no expectation to win prizes, we only hope to spread words about our programme and get people to participate. We also wanted to learn about others' innovation and make contacts and broaden our networking.

The 2-day event began with judging on the first day and the result came out on the second day. Participants were located in the same hall with some separation between the categories. Perky Piung and I contested in the teacher category.

What amazed us were the contestant from the students' category. They exhibited maturity in their presentation about the product they have invented. Both of us grilled them with questions! Most of them said that their project was a product of classroom teaching and learning activities which was further developed into something better. Some of them were able to secure a partnership with universities to develop and market their product. AMAZING.






We were glad we took a leap of faith and try our hands in this event. The people who took part in this event were supportive of others and highly motivated. You can feel the air of positivity in the hall and the excitement to share ideas and possible collaboration.




Looking back, Perky Piung and I understand that we have a long way ahead of us. We need to do a lot more to keep up with the current trends of education in this era. It is not easy to keep learners motivated by doing just one thing because this generation has traits so dynamic that you can't even foresee where it is going to go. Until then, keep on innovating!

It is not in Japan, but the closest we can get
