Sustainability”. Hey Ho was held from August to October 2017, during which Hey Ho was implemented with a Pre-Intervention and 5 distinct Interventions. On August 18th 2017, SCORE CIMSA UNAND conducted a presentation to the principal of SMA Negeri 3 Padang. This presentation was useful to extending the MoU we had with the high school and to explain to the school about the Hey Ho intervention. Previously SCORE members have also contacted and consulted with dr. Linosefa, Sp.Mk, our faculty overseer, about the project.

Furthermore, at the first intervention on August 26th 2017, there was a bonding between members of SCORE CIMSA UNAND and young researchers as well as with the best student peer educator from previous editions of Hey Ho. In addition to enhancing teamwork, this bonding is also useful for students to get know more about young researchers who will be guiding Hey Ho this year. To increase young researchers’ knowledge in Hey Ho, there was an explanation about water and air contamination and its relation with some diseases by Fakhri Zuhdian Nasher, S.Ked.
SMA Negeri 3 Padang. Sharing was done through presentations and discussion. This aims to make the results of research known to all students at that school and produce a healthy behavior change in maintaining the cleanliness of school environment. Intervention was closed with a questionnaire about clean and healthy lifestyle. Finally, on the last intervention on October 21st 2017, Hey Ho was closed by awarding medals and certificates to all young researchers as a tribute to their active participation during Hey Ho. In addition, we also gave a gift to the headmaster of the school for the generosity of SMAN 3 Padang in supporting Hey Ho. Hopefully, the new peer educators can share more knowledge gained from Hey Ho with all people in SMA Negeri 3 Padang, so everyone understands how important it is to maintain air and water cleanliness in the school environment.
The second intervention on September 12th 2017 was about sampling. Before taking water and air samples in SMA Negeri 3 Padang, SCORE members prepared all medium samples, sterilization and sample incubators. The “MAD” medium was used for air samples and the “lactose broth” medium lactose broth for water samples. In process of sampling, all young researchers used gloves and the steps were explained to the students. After taking samples at some point, the next step was the incubation process in the Microbiology Laboratory of FK Unand by SCORE Members of our local committee. Two days after this, on September 14th 2017, the third intervention took place. Members of SCORE invited young researchers to see the results of the bacterial incubations. There, young researchers learned to interpret incubation results submitted by the peer educators and SCORE members. After that, young researchers documented the sample results in scientific reports and group presentations. This aims to improve the skills of young researchers to report results of their studies systematically. On Saturday September 16th 2017, the young researchers shared the results of their research about water and air contamination with other students of www.ifmsa.org
