ITE team invents face shield to help teachers be heard more clearly

SINGAPORE - A group of Institute of Technical Education staff have invented a face shield for their colleagues to wear as they teach, so that they can be heard better by students.

ITE College East principal Yek Tiew Ming said:"We had queries from staff about whether students would be able to hear them, if their voices would be too muffled ." Mr Roy Tan, section head of ITE College East's chemical process technology department, came up with the idea to integrate the melaphone design with a standard face shield.Other staff from the college's school of engineering and Technology Development Centre were soon roped into the project. They include Mr Alfred Tan, the centre's director, and Mr Raymond See, deputy director of the college's school of applied sciences.
