The selected participants were then provided with a SID teaching kit inclusive of software, electronic components and a PCB. This competition conducted in group consists of four students. Each group are required to design and build a very low frequency (VLF) antenna, assemble the electronics components on the PCB to build the preamplifier and analyze the data that they received. They were also required to prepare, upload their progress and final technical reports to be evaluated by a panel of judges. The final evaluation was done by visits to the top five schools where the students presented their reports. This competition is beneficial to increase awareness among school students in space weather knowledge.
