In this program, school students have been given a specially designed module for safe water leisure education covering knowledge about disaster risk phenomena in water leisure areas, safety measures, as well as the latest technology involved in monitoring, observation, and forecasting.

The participants were also visit several places around campus accompanied by facilitators such as Chancellery building, Sultanah Zanariah Library and FABU gallery. At the end of the program, students have acquired knowledge about geospatial technology involved in detecting, monitoring, and predicting extreme phenomena.
