NEWS || To Barrio with Lab: PNHS' Community-Based STEM Project Earns Top 3 Spot in 2024 STARS Award

Pambujan National High School (PNHS) has achieved a remarkable milestone, securing a Top 3 spot in the prestigious 2024 STARS Award for its innovative project, "To Barrio with Lab." This community-based initiative aims to equip science teachers and barangay residents in Tula, Canjumadal, and Busak with improvised laboratory apparatus and equipment, enhancing science instruction in under-resourced areas.

The project, spearheaded by teachers Eufemio Adarayan Jr., Leah Cerda, and Syra Corong, addresses the critical gap in science education. “We were motivated to create this proposal because we have seen how science instruction is lagging behind other countries. Improvements must start from the foundation—the elementary grades. But seeing that our schools lack the necessary resources for effective instruction prompted us to take action,” explained Mr. Adarayan.

Selected as one of 94 entries nationwide, "To Barrio with Lab" stood out during the 2024 STARS Award Bootcamp, held in Makati City from November 23 to 25. Competing with other semifinalists, the PNHS team earned its place among the Top 3 through their compelling presentation of the project's potential impact.

As a finalist, the project will receive funding from the Department of Science and Technology – Science Education Institute (DOST-SEI) for full implementation in 2025. This support ensures that science education becomes more accessible to elementary students in last-mile schools, fostering a stronger foundation in STEM learning for future generations.

PNHS' achievement not only highlights their commitment to advancing education but also underscores the transformative potential of community-driven STEM initiatives.

The PNHS Quantum Questers family extends its heartfelt congratulations to our science teachers for being among the finalists of the 2024 Stars Award by the DOST-SEI Science Teacher Academy for the Regions. 🌟🎉

The Quantum Questers Club is incredibly proud of you. You bring immense pride to us, Ma’am Syra Corong, Ma’am Leah Cerda, and Sir Eufemio Adarayan Jr.! 😊👏

Happy Birthday, Leira, the brilliant and dedicated Asset Alchemist! Your ability to turn numbers into magic and balance the cosmic ledgers brings accountability to the club. May your special day be filled with joy, love, and prosperity, and be as special as you are. 💗🌟

Today, we celebrate such commendable people who, even at the wake of their tirelessness, would still rather choose the future of their students over themselves — teachers. 👩‍🏫👨‍🏫 Their dedication and hard work will never go unnoticed, as each day that passes, we are greatly reminded of the passion that flows through them. 💖

Truly, teachers are like candles 🕯️, they burn themselves to give light to others. Without their undying support, we are nothing but mere learners who knew nothing of how the world works. 🌍📚

With that, we, the Quantum Questers, would like to share our deepest gratitude 🙏 to our club advisers, 𝙈𝙖’𝙖𝙢 𝙎𝙮𝙧𝙖 𝘾𝙤𝙧𝙤𝙣𝙜 and 𝙈𝙖’𝙖𝙢 𝙈𝙖𝙧𝙞𝙛𝙚 𝘽𝙖𝙡𝙖𝙣𝙦𝙪𝙞𝙩, for choosing to guide us on the path that leads to the unknown. ✨ It is no easy feat to lead a group of students who also chose to explore the uncertain, but it is their determination that continues to push us further and reach more until the quest for knowledge is over. 🔭🚀📖
