The event was attended by over 1,000 C-suites level including Board Members, CEOs and Directors from various stakeholders and companies. We were able to showcase our sustainability initiatives which included:

–         Harvesting of rainwater to wash our sea-based assets such as dragon boats and kayaks, to effectively reduce the amount of freshwater used.

–         Collection of used plastic water bottles, which can amount to over 65,000 per annum.

–         Recycling of the used plastic water bottle through various means:

1)    Planting of mosquito repellent plants using the recycled water bottles (vertical gardening)

2)    Customized bottle cap artwork using the bottle caps of the recycled water bottles

–         Coastal clean-up Programs

Developing a sustainable business model is the focus in today’s context, FOCUS Adventure will do our part in reducing the carbon footprint and help to create a more sustainable environment for all.

Each team will be tasked to build a robot together. After which they will be going through the learning session on manual controls and how to control them. This will allow their robots to be unique as compared to the rest. Their final objective will be to pit the robot that they built against man-made obstacles such as to carry items and moving from point A to point B or to going through a maze or to dance! The possibilities is endless! They will then customise a message for the children using the robots built and have it delivered to the beneficiaries.
