Innovation begins with identifying a problem and having the courage to create a solution.
Our ๐๐ซ๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ (๐๐๐๐) students showcased their creativity, ingenuity, and problem-solving skills through their ๐๐๐๐ก๐ข๐ง๐ ๐๐ซ๐จ๐ญ๐จ๐ญ๐ฒ๐ฉ๐ ๐๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐๐ง๐ญ๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง, a performance task in their General Science subject.
Each group identified real-life challenges within the school and the community of General Trias, then designed innovative machine prototypes that offer practical and sustainable solutions. During the presentation, the learners confidently demonstrated the mechanism and functionality of their prototypes while explaining their rationale, significance, and alignment with the ๐๐ง๐ข๐ญ๐๐ ๐๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐ฌ ๐๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ข๐ง๐๐๐ฅ๐ ๐๐๐ฏ๐๐ฅ๐จ๐ฉ๐ฆ๐๐ง๐ญ ๐๐จ๐๐ฅ๐ฌ (๐๐๐๐ฌ).
The activity highlighted not only the students’ scientific and engineering knowledge but also their creativity, collaboration, critical thinking, and commitment to developing innovations that can make a positive impact on society.
The presentations were witnessed and evaluated by Science Department Head Teacher VI, ๐๐ฌ. ๐๐ซ๐๐ง๐ ๐. ๐๐๐ฌ๐ญ๐ซ๐จ๐ง๐ฎ๐๐ฏ๐จ; Science Teacher, ๐๐ฌ. ๐๐๐ง๐ง๐ข๐๐ ๐๐ฅ๐๐ฆ๐๐ง๐จ; and their General Science teacher and adviser, ๐๐ซ. ๐๐๐ญ๐ซ๐ข๐๐ค ๐. ๐๐๐ซ๐.
