The Philippine Science High School (PSHS) System has launched an online training course on science communication benefiting Grade 10 students from public schools and its campuses.
DOST Secretary Fortunato “Boy” T. de la Pena said PISAYCOM, a certificate training course on science communication, attracted around 5,000 registered participants nationwide.
“PISAYCOM envisions to inspire Filipino youth to communicate science towards national consciousness and enhance participants’ ability to laymanize science content through multimedia,” he said during his weekly report on Friday, June 25.
“Pisay also hopes to equip more Filipino youth who will popularize the socio-economic impact of science to people through PISAYCOM.”
De la Peña said besides training and competency building, participants will exhibit their acquired skills through science communication competitions.
He announced on DOSTv Facebook page that the PSHS System will continue implementing remote learning in its 16 campuses nationwide until the end of this year to help prevent the spread of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) among students and teachers.
De la Peña chairs the PSHS System’s Board of Trustees (BOT).
