1. Kiwis
   
2. Facebook
   
3. Star Wars
   
4. Lamps
   
5. Cigarettes
   
6. Vitamins
   
7. Obesity
   
8. Robots, machines
   
9. Cartoons
   
10. Piracy
    
11. Toys
    
12. CCAs in Hwa Chong
    
13. Education in Singapore
    
14. Communication and Transportation
    
15. Environment
    

After much discussion, we narrowed down our choices to three ideas. We further discussed, and made a mindmap on each of the three ideas.

Facebook
Pros Close to the student's heart (relevant) Attract attention Interesting	Cons Survey results might not be accurate	Possible content Surveys Interviews Addictiveness Inspiration for building Facebook Uses of Facebook Special unknown features Interactive flash websites

 

Robots and Machines
Pros Interesting if done well Can link up with robotics club	Cons Content may be dry	Possible ideas How do robots work? Future robots? History Robots Matrix-style presentation Lego-style robots Interview robotic club members Star Wars

 

Kiwis
Pros Can present interesting recipes Videos/Games/Quiz GM Kiwis vs. natural Kiwis	Cons Kiwis are expensive, may be hard to experiment on	Possible ideas Kiwi recipes Health benefits of Kiwi Types of Kiwi Background information on Kiwi Types of Kiwis Quiz and interactive flash video Games

 

After comparing the pros and cons of the above 3 ideas, we felt that we would like to do Kiwi or another fruit/vegetables. The team decided to each do more research on one kind of fruit/vegetable and then decide as a team on the final theme.
