Science Month Celebration 2018

-




S&T enthusiasts are in for a treat this coming 17 to 21 July 2018 as the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) headed by Sec. Fortunato T. de la Peña leads the nation in celebrating the 2018 National Science and Technology Week (NSTW) at the World Trade Center (Halls A-C) in Pasay City. 

Held annually, the NSTW highlights how science, technology and innovation (STI) play a major part in achieving national development. 

This year's NSTW will carry the theme "Science for the People: Innovation for Collective Prosperity."


The exhibit for this year will simulate an ecosystem of how STI work together for the progress of a community. Technologies developed by the DOST and its attached agencies, as well as its partners, will be displayed for the first time via interactive displays in four clusters namely: STI at Home, STI in School, STI in the Workplace and STI in the Marketplace. 

Guests are encouraged to participate in games and raffles for some prizes and tokens. 

Aside from the main exhibit, forums will be conducted at the mezzanine area of the Center. To be held at the main stage are forums on the Small Enterprise Technology Upgrading Program (SETUP) and Community Empowerment through Science and Technology (CEST). 

There will also be activities lined up on the side such as film showing, scientific career talks, science journalism writeshop, and others. Though the entrance to the NSTW is open, some of the events may require pre-registration or on a per-invitation-only basis. 

The NSTW is celebrated every third week of July through Proclamation No. 169 of 1993. It aims to recognize the contribution of science and technology in the development of the country and garner support from the public and private institutions for its sustainable development. 

After the event, a series of regional science and technology fairs will also be held in every region in the country until December.

"My Reflection this Quarter"

-
         ICT for me is never been easy, especially this quarter. There are a lot of terms, people and essays that you need to writ, memorize and understand.       This quarter i learned how to make a blog. In my last school we focus on computer hardware and system servicing but did not tackle this lesson; about blogging. It is a great thing for me because it adds to my knowledge and to my discoveries, and i know that it will be useful.      The problem that i encounter this quarter is also the blogging. As i have said, i never tried this before, and its a big challenge for me. It is a challenge for me to learn, and challenges me to do my best and never stop learning.       I solve this problem by focusing on my studies and by learning to those who are experienced in this field. I consult those who tried blogging before and get some advice from them. That way i was able to learn what i need to learn in a short period of time.       Moving on, I will continue to research and fin
