National Science and Technology Week (NSTW) is annually celebrated every third week of July to highlight the significant contributions of Science and Technology to national development. 2019 NSTW was officially opened on Wednesday, July 17, at the World Trade Center Pasay City with the theme: “Science for the People: Enabling Technologies for Sustainable Development.” It showcases exhibits divided into 8 clusters: (1) Food Security, Energy and Environment; (2) Aging Society, Health and Medical Care; (3) S&T Human Resource Development; (4) Equity Growth in the Countryside; (45) Biodiversity and Sustainable Use of Biological Resources; (6) Sustainable Cities and Communities; (7) Resilience and Innovation; and (8) International Linkages.
Admission is free and it is open to public; so, the Grade 4 Special Science Class grabbed the great opportunity to come – together with their parents and teachers. TPES SSC learners explored amazing inventions, discovered spectacular researches, and gained new information. They enjoyed the exhibit and wished that they could also experience showcasing their talents and pursue their potential in Science and Technology in their beloved school. I believe that the knowledge they gained in this celebration will serve as their motivation to be great when it comes to innovation.
