Email: chenko2008@gmail.com

I generally reply to an email query in a blog post if I feel it will benefit other readers. If for some reason, you would like a private reply, please state so in your query.

I am currently an Adjunct Lecturer in Singapore Polytechnic. Always exploring new ways to bring experiential learning into the classroom, I endeavour to work with 3 guiding principles.
1. Adventure - physical, intellectual or both
2. Conservation of nature
3. Educational value

I am passionate about all things water. Professionally, I have worked on various water quality projects with Nparks and PUB and published the book, “Your First Guide to Water Quality Monitoring in Singapore” in collaboration with PUB.

I am also the Founder and Principal of iMatter Learning Centre.
