SEGi Green and Sustainable Technology Club

A Student-led Initiative:

Technology for a Sustainability Future

Be part of the SEGi Green & Sustainable Technology Club (GSTC) – where student leaders harness the power of technology to address global challenges and drive progress towards the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

How Digital Technologies can help Achieve SDGs

Enhancing Data Collection & Analysis

Data is critical for informed decision-making and progress monitoring towards achieving SDGs. Digital technologies such as big data analytics, artificial intelligence, and machine learning can help collect, analyse, and interpret data to inform policy and decision-making.

Improving Access to Basic Services

Digital technologies such as mobile phones and the Internet can help provide access to essential services such as healthcare, education, and financial services to underserved or remote areas.

Promoting Sustainable Production and Consumption

Digital technologies can help promote sustainable production and consumption patterns by enabling the more efficient use of resources, reducing waste, and facilitating the recycling and reuse of materials.

Fostering Inclusive Economic Growth

Digital technologies can help in fostering inclusive economic growth by promoting entrepreneurship, facilitating access to markets, and providing opportunities for digital skills development.

Empowering Communities and Enhancing Citizen Engagement

Digital technologies can help in empowering communities by enabling access to information, enhancing citizen engagement, and promoting transparency and accountability.

About Us

The mission of GSTC Club

Our mission is to harness technology and innovation to tackle global challenges and advance sustainable development. 

We strive to empower students and individuals with essential digital skills, cultivate a spirit of collaboration, and inspire meaningful change in both local and global communities

Objectives

  • Raise awareness about the SDGs and their importance in achieving a more sustainable future.
  • Engage in projects and initiatives that directly contribute to specific SDGs, such as education, environmental sustainability, and gender equality.
  • Collaborate with other student organisations, academic departments, and community partners to amplify our efforts and reach a wider audience.
  • Provide opportunities for members to develop technical skills, leadership abilities, and a deeper understanding of social and environmental issues.
  • Advocate for policies and practices that support the implementation of the SDGs at the university and beyond.

What are the SDGs

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a collection of 17 global goals set by the United Nations General Assembly in 2015 for 2030. They aim to address various social, economic, and environmental challenges worldwide, including poverty, inequality, climate change, ecological degradation, peace, and justice. The SDGs provide a framework for countries and organisations to work together towards a more sustainable and equitable future

活动

Arduino workshop

优质教育(可持续发展目标 4):
Arduino workshops provide hands-on learning experiences in electronics, programming, and robotics. They can be used to teach STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) subjects engagingly and practically, enhancing education quality and promoting lifelong learning opportunities.

Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure (SDG 9):
Arduino workshops foster innovation by encouraging participants to design and create their own electronic devices, prototypes, and IoT (Internet of Things) solutions. This contributes to developing local technological capabilities, infrastructure, and entrepreneurship.

Sustainable Cities and Communities (SDG 11):
Arduino-based projects can address various challenges faced by cities and communities, such as smart energy management, waste management, water conservation, and environmental monitoring. For example, participants can create smart sensors for air quality monitoring or develop automated irrigation systems for sustainable agriculture.

Climate Action (SDG 13):
Arduino projects can contribute to climate action by enabling the development of solutions for energy efficiency, renewable energy monitoring, greenhouse gas reduction, and climate change adaptation. For instance, participants can build solar-powered devices or weather stations to collect environmental data.

Partnerships for the Goals (SDG 17):
Arduino workshops often involve collaborations between educational institutions, industry partners, and community organisations. Such partnerships facilitate knowledge sharing, technology transfer, and capacity building, leading to collective efforts towards achieving sustainable development goals.

Apex Legend Tournament

Gender Equality (SDG 5):
Esports and gaming communities are working towards promoting gender equality by encouraging more female participation in gaming tournaments, creating inclusive gaming spaces, and combating online harassment and toxicity.

Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure (SDG 9):
Gaming drives technological advancements in hardware, software, and networking infrastructure. It fosters innovation in virtual reality, artificial intelligence, and digital entertainment, improving various industries.

Reduced Inequality (SDG 10):
Gaming and esports can bring people from diverse backgrounds together, promoting social inclusion and reducing inequalities by providing equal opportunities for competition and recognition based on skill and merit rather than social status or background.

Sustainable Cities and Communities (SDG 11):
Esports events and gaming communities create vibrant and inclusive communities, promote cultural exchange, and drive tourism and economic activities in cities hosting major gaming tournaments and events.
