The Tech Bubble – Ep12 EcoTech

The final episode of the Tech Bubble for Season 2 creates synergy between the Digital Leadership Council (DLC) and the Sustainability Council (SusCo) with guests including two South Island School teachers: Laura Beaumont and Adam Tait from the Individuals and Societies faculty, as well as Cameron Kyme from 12C1, a member of SusCo. We also welcome back former Head Prefect from 2018, Belinda Ng, a current student at Cambridge University, studying Geography, and Tracey Read from the NGO, Plastic Free Seas. Tracey is currently studying for a Ph.D. at the University of Queensland, researching the biodegradability of biodegradable plastic in the marine environment. Our usual two hosts, Digital Literacy Coordinator, Iain Williamson, and Chloe Jazzy Lau, Head of the Digital Leadership Council ask questions exploring the convergence of technology and environmental sustainability whilst also revealing the results of a school survey, quizzing students about their choice of search engine. Adam Tait discusses Ecosia, a search tool promoted by the Sustainability Council in which searches result in tree planting. 

As ever the Digital Leadership Council would love to hear your thoughts on the show. What would you like us to discuss? If you have any ideas, questions, or feedback then please write to digileaders@webmail.sis.edu.hk
