STUDENTS from the Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR) bagged first place in an app development competition spearheaded by the Department of Science and Technology-National Academy of Science and Technology (DOST-NAST).
The winning students, Lloy Gladwin, Jonavel Adawe, Samantha Samson, and Yael Solimen from the Philippine Science High School in CAR were coached by Leo Dacumos.
Their winning entry, titled Telling Science Top Down, was viewed as a creative way to tell science stories through app.
The entry copped first prize in Salinlahi Evolution, an app development competition organized by the DOST-NAST in collaboration with the Philippine Amusement and Entertainment Corp. (PAEC).
“Team Technolikha’s game, Telling Science Top Down, aims to address issues concerning the biosphere, particularly focusing on land and water. The game includes a series of puzzles that must be solved by the player, Dr. Likha. The character is inspired by the concept that individual actions and participation are instrumental in creating change and, ultimately, in saving a deteriorating world,” the Philippine Information Agency said in a statement.
