Achievements of the nation's children in the international arena it deserves appreciation. See, in the event the International Environmental Project Olympiad (Inepo) 18th in Istanbul, Turkey in 19 to 22 May 2010, the Indonesian team who represented the children SMAN 5 Madison, SMA Saint Lorensia Serpong, Tangerang and SMA Universe Bilingual Boarding School (BBS) Semarang successfully won 3 gold from 11 gold, which are contested.

One of three Indonesian team which won gold in the team event is SMAN 5 Madison. Scientific papers that carried them into Inepo is brick made from a mixture of soil and waste ash sugar factory (PG) which claimed withstand earthquakes. The bricks had been tested in the laboratory of Concrete and Building Materials Department of Civil Engineering Faculty of Civil Engineering and Planning, Ten November Institute of Technology (ITS) Surabaya. Amazingly, those who are doing research on anti-earthquake-brick it turns out are the students in these schools are very rarely interact daily with the construction world.

Is Nina Milasari (grade 11) and Christina Kartika Dewi Stars (grade 10) who won the award.

In addition to stronger able to withstand the burden 91831.56 Pa, this brick 2 ounces lighter than ordinary bricks the same size. Not only that, this brick is also cheaper. With production costs Rp Rp 160 thousand per 1,000 bricks, it is cheaper than ordinary brick production cost is Rp 178 thousand per 1,000 pieces.

Although the work of internationally recognized students, the school itself has not had a plan against these products, including patented or produce it in mass scale.

"That's later. ... ... ... .... Want patented or mass produced, it's takes time for coordination among schools, Education Department, Madison municipal government, and other parties. Due to mass produce, must need the funds, facilities, infrastructure is not small, and certainly can not afford school, "said Deputy Chief SMAN 5 Madiun Studentship field, Drs Ami Priyo Susilo.

Behind that success, it turns out the team's departure preparation is done with difficulty. Madison City Government to respond because they feel less financial aid to the filing of this event they never received. Instead, the school felt it was 2 times to send a proposal. Finally, schools and school committee tried hard to find funding various parties, including the raising of funds to a number of campus and the last satisfied the Department of Education Nasional.Meski Thus, the municipal government joined Madison proud. "I'm very proud of their achievement at the international level achieved by students from 5," said Head of Public Relations Madison city government, Edi Hermayanto Drs.

Is there a sense of regret over the attitude of city government who seem less supportive of this team's departure to Turkey?

"But who is difficult? None. Yes, because at that time the mechanism is only matter. But ultimately it Mr. Mayor has called them (the team of scientific works), and Mr. Wali has given pocket money, "he said.

Priyo said there was no direct assistance from the city government to dispatch their teams. Funds that they use obtained from the spontaneity of a number of fundraising and the school campus (USD 35 million), school committees (USD 10 million), the teachers SMAN 5 Madiun (USD 5 million), and pocket money from the Events Calendar (Rp 6.5 million / person).

Events Calendar also cover round-trip airfare and accommodation for the Olympic three-day implementation. The advantages of 3-day execution time Olympic borne by the team of pocket money fund-raising results.

Apart from SMAN 5 teams this Madiun who won gold in the fields of physics, two other gold medalist from Indonesia is a high school Lorensia Sant Serpong, Tangerang and SMA Universe Bilingual Boarding School (BBS), Semarang (both in chemistry).http://jelajahunik.blogspot.com/2010/06/batu-bata-anti-gempa-buatan-anak-sma.html

Cruise ship in the picture above is called Whampoa. Whampoa is not a cruise ship accidentally stranded in downtown Hong Kong. In fact, the yacht is actually not a cruise ship at all (^_^).
