Principals must continue to push learning boundaries: Heng Swee Keat

babe 
Yes. Learning by science - one is bounded by the limitation of physics and engineering and technology.
Augment learning by art in addition to science - it means creativity, innovation and "out-of-the-box" outcomes.


For eg. an art - have a vision of a honey bee with 2 antennae.
Thinking aloud, our futuristic soldier helmet and our police helmet - also have 2 feelers :-
(1) 1st feeler - is used as signal comm antennae for voice communication with peer squad group.
(2) 2nd feeler - is used as cctv to record battle scene and pipe back to section or HQ. And in the case of police, to record crime scene and pipe back to Police HQ and peer police squad - so that emergency reinforcement can be activated immediately.
Also crime scene can be used as proof for prosecution in court.

So Art has project the capabilities of Science - many fold.



Don't laugh at my honey bee design hor.
Chinese kungfu got grasshopper fist, got tiger claw, got snake palm, got stork beak, got eagle wing, got monkey stunt hor...

To ensure it is not fiction but implementable:-
For eg. The helmet has 2 layers. The outer layer with the 2 feelers - will have dual
function. One to protect the head of soldier and police and then house the processor, server and storage between the 2 layers of helmet.
The left feelers with voice communication will comprise of the following :-
- Voice-Over-IP (voip) – for IP network
voice communication running SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) on IP.
- Radio Comm running radio frequency.
- The Voip running SIP is a redundant
voice channel to backup the Radio Comm as primary communication channel in case
any of one of the comms fail.
- Voip will come with a call manager
miniature server – whose function is to do call setup between the police or
soldier with hq. The moment the call is setup, voice recording will take place
– to provide voice recorder session of the crime scene or battle scene – just
like the airplane black box or voice recorder.
- The mouthpiece will serve as the
speaker – which is the ip phone that connect with HQ ip phone – setup by the call manager.
- The communication medium will make
use of 4G or 3G wireless network.
- The voice communication will be
encrypted by crypto with proper key management protocol for secured access and secured comm..
- Radio Comm running radio frequency
will adopt the same comm. Method used by the current system.
The right feelers with cctv or video camera will be supported by:-
- Video server or virtual server
supported in between 2 layers of helmet.
- When switch on to do video recording,
the video images will be stored in the video server or virtual server and at the same time pipe back the video image to the HQ.
- The video server or virtual server
act as backup in case the piping back to the HQ fail – due to fail communication medium or transmission.
- The communication medium can make use
of 4G or 3G wireless network.
- The video communication will
similarly be encrypted by crypto with proper key management protocol for secured access and secured transmission.


And the 2 feelers can also emit blinking light for the following purposes :-
(1) Eg. Police at night - need not put on luminous vest - just by switching on the 2 blinking light on the antennae will be luminous - like radio car blinking signal light and siren on top of the police car.
(2) Eg. for Soldier at night - that need to mark his location to signal air support - eg. air strike on enemy position or extraction by heliborne etc. No need to put luminous stick on the helmet that will wear out.
You see the honey bee 2 feelers can have so many multiple used.
小蜜蜂,翁翁翁。
视像在西,声音在东。
You see Art open up so many Science possibilities..........

If graduates wear their mortar board and apron - like graduate gown - which look quite funny - but admired by many as achievement ------ what is wrong with futuristic police and soldier wearing the "bee helmet" - with so many operational capabilities.
So don't laugh at the "bee helmet".
It can out-maneouver crime, and out-class adversaries in battlefield.


Laugh at my "bee helmet" - will activate the bees to sting you.

This is a classic demo of how Art transform Science.
