Commending the
remarkable milestone of Science and Technology in the present times, the
Department of Science and Technology Region 12 is yet again making in history
with its celebration of this year’s Science Nation Tour. Dubbed as Agham na
Ramdam (Science is Felt), this first of a kind experience in the region is
bringing brighter opportunities to the people in a golden platter. There is
more to experience than meets the eye. This national roadshow slates series of
mayor activities highlighting the Department of Science and Technology’s
efforts to bring people experience first-hand the impact and promising
development of S&T in uplifting the quality of life. This event also
strengthens ties and partnership with stakeholders, academe, and technopreneurs
to bring forth a self-reliant community that is empowered thru S&T.
The three-day event
will be graced by Sec. Mario G. Montejo with the support of the Regional
Directors of the Department of Science and Technology. The all out event will
surely be a moment to remember with jam-packed activities that will surely
satisfy our cravings for Science and Technology.
The Science Nation
Tour: Agham na Ramdam will be conducted at KCC Convention Center, General
Santos City with the presence of distinguished quests and participants from
different sectors; government and private. One of the key event during the
first day is the launching of oneSTore program of DOST. OneSTore is simply
bringing DOST-assisted quality products to your doorstep with its online
shopping application, guaranteed hassle-free. Concurrent with the launching are
some of the major activities highlighting DOST 12’s programs and services,
Roll-out and High Impact Programs showcase the significant contribution of
ongoing breakthroughs and innovation in S&T. Another activity to look after
is the S&T Exhibit featuring success stories of assisted SMEs stakeholders
Economic Forum that will showcase Small enterprise Technology Upgrading Program
(SETUP) interventions that continuously improve economic growth in the Region.
The Regional Invention Contest Exhibit (RICE) will also level up the
competition as talented inventors of the region showcase their astounding
inventions that have direct impact to the welfare and economic growth of region
12. Wrapping up the first day will be
the Pagana Maranao which accentuates the culture and tradition of Maranaos as
well as their natural hospitality.
The second day will
further emphasize the theme of the event as S&T Caravan goes to Sultan
Kudarat province bringing S&T closer to the people. This will then followed
by different activities like the Symposium on Strengthening Region’s Resilience
to the impact of climate change, Youth S&T Assembly, and launching of the
Complementary Food Center. The day is too short to experience the full blast
capacity of innovating science and technology thus Science Nation Tour will
culminate at February 18 with the anticipated Halal Conference followed by the
awarding ceremony for Regional Invention Contest winners.
Let us rejoice for
this one of a kind opportunity and may not this be the end for more fascinating
and worthwhile S&T driven campaign for building more resilient and
progressive communities. Indeed, Science is genuinely felt with DOST.By: Gemma
