Science Castle Philippines 2025: Introducing the Next Generation of Innovators
Leave a Nest is excited to announce the launch of Science Castle Philippines (SCPH) in 2025, offering young students a unique platform to showcase their innovative research. This interdisciplinary exhibition will feature oral and poster presentations, interactive workshops, and opportunities to enhance scientific skills.
Participants will connect with industry leaders, academics, and partner organizations, fostering collaboration and learning. By engaging in this event, students will deepen their knowledge and gain the tools to address local community challenges.
Additionally, dedicated sessions for educators will explore effective teaching strategies and student engagement through panel discussion, strengthen science education across the Philippines.
We are thrilled to unveil the distinguished list of oral and poster presenters for the inaugural Science Castle Philippines, set to take place at Ateneo de Manila University this January 18, 2025.
