At Sekolah Menengah Paragon, we are immensely proud to celebrate the success of our thoughtful and innovative students in the Virtual Innovation Competition 2025. Led by Ang Lit Jie from Form 4.2 and mentored by Dr Tan Yong Chee, the team, comprising of Meghna, Tee Ya Xuan, Jong Zheng Quan, Lioe Darren, and Lim Le Tao (all from Form 4.2), earned a well-deserved Gold Award and secured a spot among the Top 5 Young Science Awards across ten participating countries.

Their project, Clean Drops from the Sky: Rainwater Harvesting and Treatment, addresses a pressing issue in Malaysia: the underutilization of abundant rainfall due to concerns over water quality. The team developed and tested an innovative rainwater collection and filtration system to improve the safety and usability of harvested rainwater. This innovative approach offers a sustainable solution for improving residential water quality in urban environments and the project was even published in APS Proceedings Volume 22 (DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.16042055, pp. 40–45), a testament to their hard work and dedication.

Congratulations to each team member for this outstanding achievement! You’ve made us incredibly proud, and we look forward to your next innovative journey.#PPIS#sekolahmenengahparagon#SMP
