Special Interest Group's Activity -- Science Exhibition

Dear all,

We are going to hold a science exhibition next semester most probably on week 1 or week 2 for 3 days.
The objectives are:
1) To widen the social circle of Life Science students
2) To introduce common science knowledge to MMU communities

Please leave your names and give any idea for the exhibition,
you guys are so creative as I saw your past models and perfomance!

Let's hold this activity together!
I would like to see more seniors, juniors, and friends from other faculties to involve!
SAPS point will be rewarded to whom involve in this activity.

Currently I've received suggestion:
1) Han Bin - Blood test and Microscope (viewing bacteria).
2) Yan Ling - Small gift given to those who win in games/contests.
Game: Tell the name of the observed bacteria through microscope.
Gift: Small notebook/pen. (or others Game and Gift you may suggest!)
3) Elaine - Provide a full body check up through blood test analysis cost RM40 each
4) Kevin - Theme Exhibition, Video Clips, Interesting Pictures & Banners (Comic Style), Puzzle or Scrabble or Flash game, Promotion

Idea of Exhibition (by Yasotha)

Exhibition of Science

This is the outline for the Exhibition of Science activity. As exhibition generally means to show something, it would be nice if we show MMU students the creation and handworks of our own FLS Faculty. For example, we can talk to the lab tutors about bringing the Cell Models and clay models in MP 1 and MP 2. If it is possible we can ask our lab tutors to demo some (cool) experiments to attract more students to our club.
The time : Maybe during any open day or during our registration day.
Cost : I’m not sure about this as we are showing things that have already been prepared.
Venue : Space given by MMU.
Man Power : 5-10 people depending on the situation

Friends, this is just a suggestion. Any other suggestions or amendments are welcomed.

Member Registration Week (by Luqman Javed)

As a new society, FoLS’s (at FIST) LSS (Life Science Society) would need to run a member registration week in order to let interested people from outside FoLS to join the society. For this to happen, we need to run a New Member Registration Week event. I am writing this as a proposal on how to go about doing the new Member Registration.

For the new member registration, I am suggesting that we split the task into 3 categories: promotion, registration, and follow through. Allow me to explain each part.

1. Promotion
Time of Start: Starting 2 weeks before actual registration.
Duration: 2 weeks.
Funds Required: 125 RM.
Manpower Required: 3 people/persons

For this phase, I’m suggesting we use the funds to get at least one large color printed banner to hang close to the place where we would be having the registration in 2 weeks. The color banner can cost anywhere from 50-100 RM depending on size and shop of purchase. I then propose we use the remaining funds to buy the following:
· A nice tablecloth. This will be used to cover the table on which we present. I do not consider this a wasteful investment, because the tablecloth can be used over and over for every year’s registration. It’s a onetime investment for the rest of the society’s life.
· Decoration stationary: we will need to make some good decorations and hang it up behind our table on the portable Velcro - backdrops that are given to us.
· Promotional Flyers: We can make flyers and photocopy them after approval to hang around the campus as a promotion.

From the university, we will need the following:
· A table
· A reserved spot for registration counter
· Portable Velcro – backdrops

A final part of promotion that is cost free is posting the message on the student bulletin board online, the LSS BlogSpot, and the LSS bulletin board.


2. Registration
Time of Start: Monday after promotion ends.
Duration: 1 week.
Funds Required: 10 RM
Manpower Required: 10 people

For this phase, we use the funds only to buy the receipts which we will pass on to people who register in the club. As pre-decided, a registration fee is RM 5. I am also suggesting that we allow newly registered members to order the LSS T-shirt if they want. For this event, I suggest we do not ask them to manually fill out paper forms, because understanding other people’s handwriting is difficult sometimes. This may sound like a moot point, but is sometimes necessary, especially when taking down emails. Therefore, I suggest that one (or more) of us bring a laptop along daily where we electronically register our members. We can also show the passing by people videos on our society this way to maybe entice them to register. Also, if we electronically register them then we don’t have go through the trouble of transferring all paper records into a computer after registration (a liability some clubs undergo).

The reason I suggest 10 people as manpower is to make sure we can have at least 2-3 at the stall at any given time from 9AM till 5PM on the registration week.

3. Follow Through
Time of Start: Within 1 week after Registration Stall closes.
Duration: N/A
Funds Required: None.
Manpower Required: 1 person
After registration, one person needs to email or inform all the newly registered members of the Annual General Meeting, or any interviews they need to attend. This would most likely be done electronically via email, backed up by SMS-ing.

· Registration would close after follow through until the next year of registration would come, whereby old members would have to renew their membership if they wish to stay, new people can register, and so on.
Total Time: 3 weeks.
Total Funds: 135 RM
Total Manpower: 10 people (promotion people can overlap into registration and follow through)

BBQ Gathering Night (by Jagedeswaran)

The ‘BBQ NITE’ is a grand event of LIFE SCIENCE SCOIETY to celebrate the effort made by the LSS members to form the club. The night will expect about 50 members to join. We will also have games, dancing and singing.

Budget breakdown
Chicken (2 piece each) = 100 pieces
= 9 whole chicken
= RM 108 (RM12 per chicken)
Marinating cost = RM 50
Cake = RM 60
Drinks = RM 70
Fruits = RM 30
Fried Rice/ Mi hoon = RM 100
Decorations of venue = RM 20
Games = RM 50
BBQ set, Charcoal and some kitchen wares = RM 50 (will be lesser if we can borrow from some of our friends)
TOTAL = RM 538
If each student can pay RM5 = 50 X RM5
= RM 250
BALANCE TO BE SPONSORED =RM 288

Pls give me some idea on games!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Events for Awareness Week (by Elaine Choo)

1. Cancer week
Nowadays cancer had been a very common illness to us beside AIDS. It can kill thousands of life in a day. So, I think that we can do a cancer awareness week. Below are the following activities we can hold:
- Exibition about all types of cancer with some models
- Experiment such as effect of smoking can cause lung cancer
- Video or pictures about serious of cancer
- invite speaker from hospital (If can)
- Games about cancer (anyone have any idea on what games?)

Budget : roughly around RM1000 (but, I am not sure about that)


PS: Anyone who has any better idea than mine, please do not hesitate to give your suggestion. As I already crack my brain to think already… @@
Thanks a lot.

It states every procedure of how to key in online proposal and how to request the budget from STAD before events (at least 3 weeks before the event).

Other than this, the other links are very useful when request for advance money, finding vendors to aid in event such as making banner, t-shirt, transportation, food, sound system etc.

Please check on the site because I might left out something you may need.

Thanks, good luck for organizing!
