Have you ever wondered what it would be when you integrate Science with Music? Let Grade 11 students bring us into different harmonic rhythm in the project “Music – Physics: Homemade Musical Instruments”  It is a cross-curricular project between Physics and Music, requiring UTS-ers to understand sound waves and music theory to create musical instruments such as Guitar, Xylophone, Lyre and Bottle Marimba from recycled materials. The effort and meticulousness of UTS-ers has successfully wrapped up the project with a spectacular concert with exciting sounds just simply made from basic materials. 

Simulating a pitching session in the business field, the Shark Tank project organized by the International Program is a chance for Grade 9 “entrepreneurs” to confidently present their amazing business ideas to the “Sharks” – the UTS teachers.  With the goal of “from learning to doing” by applying theoretical knowledge to handle real-word situation, the UTS Community Project 2023 provides an opportunity for UTS-ers to observe the surrounding world and learn how to “analyze social issues”. Furthermore, by doing this, students can acknowledge their role and responsibilities toward life, absorb the knowledge of humanity and learn how to show empathy and cultivate compassion following the “Contribution” value – one of the six core values of UTS.  

Grade 9 UTS-ers have effectively applied the learned theory into practice, to fully appreciate the beautiful architecture of the Independence Palace through the magical perspective of mathematics.  It is a combination of knowledge between Natural Sciences and Social Sciences which are the two seemingly conflicting subjects yet also harmoniously creating a new and interesting learning experience. Valuing the ancient grace through outdoor measuring tools, UTS-ers have discovered interesting features of architectural building which aged more than hundreds of years old.
