Stan­dard 5 stu­dents, who re­cent­ly com­plet­ed the Sec­ondary En­trance Ex­am­i­na­tion (SEA) were treat­ed to a field trip by NGC CNG Com­pa­ny and on­line ed­u­ca­tion spe­cial­ists Pen­na­cool.com.

They were picked up at their school in an OEM CNG-pow­ered PTSC bus and tak­en to a CNG fill­ing sta­tion and were shown the com­pres­sion and dis­pens­ing of the cost-ef­fec­tive CNG af­ter which they spent sev­er­al hours at Chuck E. Cheese.

Stu­dents en­gaged in hands-on, in­ter­ac­tive ac­tiv­i­ties such as piz­za-mak­ing, video pro­duc­tion, and ro­bot­ics learn­ing.

Fol­low­ing the ed­u­ca­tion­al ac­tiv­i­ties, the chil­dren in­dulged in var­i­ous games and had a joy­ous and play­ful ex­pe­ri­ence be­fore head­ing back to their re­spec­tive schools.

The five schools which en­joyed the field trips were:

- El So­cor­ro North Gov­ern­ment

- Ex­change R.C Cou­va

- Vos Gov­ern­ment, Gas­par­il­lo

- D'abadie Gov­ern­ment

- La Ro­maine Gov­ern­ment

The field trips aimed to ed­u­cate the stu­dents about al­ter­na­tive fu­els, and the se­lect­ed schools were cho­sen based on their prox­im­i­ty to a CNG fill­ing sta­tion. Ac­cord­ing to the Pres­i­dent (Ag.) of NGC CNG An­na Al­isa Goin­doo, the de­ci­sion to stage the field trips is part of the com­pa­ny’s strat­e­gy to in­form and ed­u­cate the next gen­er­a­tion.

“We be­lieve as these stu­dents await their SEA re­sults, it’s a per­fect op­por­tu­ni­ty to ex­pose them to non-tra­di­tion­al and al­ter­na­tive fu­els. These are our fu­ture dri­vers and road users and as the world tran­si­tions to low car­bon, sus­tain­able forms of trans­porta­tion, CNG ed­u­ca­tion is key to their fu­ture de­ci­sions.”
