Project Director's message

Dear all,

I do hope you are having a great 2013 so far! My name is Joel Koh, and I am the Project Director for the NUS Geography Challenge 2013(NUS GC 2013).

A very warm welcome to the GC2013 blog!

The theme for GC2013 is "Made in Singapore: Stitching Our Identity". We hope to challenge student participants to view the Singapore Identity through various Geographical lenses. Students would have to adapt and apply geographical concepts in the real world setting. We wish to demonstrate to the students as well the challenges of crafting a national identity, which we Singaporeans can truly be proud of.

My team and I have been busy with preparations and are really excited about this year's competition, and we hope you would join us for this exciting adventure! Don't hesitate! Register today on this online form: http://goo.gl/s5shq

Do stay tuned to this blog for updates and we hope to see all of you soon!

Best Regards
Joel Koh
