Year 2 - Project STRIVE with DOST-PNRI and DepEd-QC
The Department of Education – Schools Division Office, Quezon City once again partnered with DOST-PNRI as it launched Year 2 of Division Project STRIVE (Science, Technology, Research in Innovative Venture) involving the selected elementary and secondary students in Quezon City at the Quezon City Science Interactive Center.
The students selected to participate in the activity are the best in science in their respective schools or winners in national, regional and international science contests.
Project STRIVE consists of twenty (20) Saturdays, and includes Nuclear Science Education, facilitated by experts from PNRI, as one of the major topics for the seminar-workshop, along with the fields of Science Investigatory Project (SIP), Science Improvisation, and Robotics.
Around 120 students were taught the basics of atomic structure and radioactivity, radiation protection, environmental radiation monitoring, nuclear and radiation applications in agriculture, chemistry, biomedical research, analytical techniques, and nuclear emergency preparedness and response.
During the 46th Atomic Energy Week Celebration last December 2018, Quezon City Councilor Precious Hipolito-Castelo acknowledged the role of Project STRIVE in the city's efforts to become a leading science and technology hub in the country.
