PSYSC Conducts BASIC-O to PWDs in Cainta

TIME TO WORK! The ates and kuyas encourage the children of the PWDs to finish the bridge.

 Last March 15, 2015, the PSYSC held the BASIC Outreach (BASIC-O) to the Persons With Disability (PWDs) of Tahanang Walang Hagdanan, Inc. located in Cainta, Rizal.

The BASIC Outreach involved a mini lecture on engineering discussed by student volunteer Steven Resma. Science tricks were demonstrated by student volunteer Nissi Buenaobra. The outreach also featured a special workshop on bridge-making where our Kuyas and Ates facilitated and guided every working team. The team that made the bridge that can support the most weight received a special prize. Aside from the science spectacles, intermission numbers were showcased both by the student volunteers and the Tahanang Walang Hagdanan, Inc. community. Snacks and lunch were served as well.

GROOVE TO THE BEAT. The children of the PWDs showcased their dancing skills during the BASIC-O at Tahanang Walang Hagdanan, Inc.

 The event went all through half of the day where the PSYSC ended the outreach with the giving of simple tokens and certificate of appreciation to the beneficiaries of Tahanang Walang Hagdanan, Inc. The community greatly thanked PSYSC for the happiness brought to them. The PSYSC then thanked them back for the opportunity of giving back to the community.

BASIC Outreach in partnership with Bantay Bata

by Madonna Feliz Madrigal

A fun-filled and engaging BASIC Outreach happened on November 24, 2012 at the ABS CBN Compound, Mother Ignacia St., Quezon City in cooperation with Bantay Bata. Almost 90 kids were present with their parents and guardians. Ate Arriane Lacaba and Kuya RG Juraez became the masters of ceremony. The program started with a doxology rendered by Mayumi Morales, a special guest, which was followed by the opening remarks of Ate Hannie Lyn Talip.

Science lectures were presented which tackled facts about the animal kingdom, digestive system and the solar system. Perkiness in participating and eagerness to learn were seen in the kids. They raised their hands to answer questions or sometimes, because of feeling of excitement, they blurt out the answers in chorus. To add up to this excitement, science tricks were performed. The tricks were Blowing up a Balloon With Baking Soda and Vinegar, P¬opping Balloon and Blooming Flower. It was amazing how some of the kids knew what will happen to those tricks. It was evident on their faces that they enjoyed the activities.

The last and most exciting part of this outreach was the Interactive Workshop. They got the chance to learn as they apply the information from the science lectures hands-on. Smiles and voices from each group filled the room as they cheered their hearts out. The sight of the kids enjoying the activity was worth everything. In line with this, Bantay Bata asked PSYSC to have an annual outreach for the kids.

Grand Basic

by Eladio Glicero Anino V and Ann Elizabeth Rollon

BASIC (Beginner's Appreciation of Science Clubbing) is a one-day activity featuring a lecture and an engaging workshop for elementary or high school students to introduce them to PSYSC, to the science clubbing movement, its benefits, and its responsibility in promoting science and technology. It is usually done for PSYSC-unaffiliated clubs but can also be for affiliated ones. BASIC is offered for free for those who are interested to affiliate with PSYSC.

In celebration of its 41st anniversary, the Philippine Society of Youth Science Clubs (PSYSC) held its BASIC at the Sto. Niño Catholic School in Taguig City last March 3 with the help of the Principal, Mrs. Ma. Luz Catig and the Science Club adviser, Mrs. Desiree Dupra. Students and teachers from the participating elementary schools, namely, Miriam College – Elementary Division, Colegio dela Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe, Blessed Exodus Christian Academy and Sto. Niño Catholic School, the host school, were treated to a variety of science-inspired tricks, including making one's own invisible ink and stopping water from flowing out of a bottle using a screen. They were also introduced to the marvels and uses of genetic engineering and molecular chimaeras, through an interactive lecture. To cap off the day's activities, the students used their skills and intelligence to finish and win an interactive workshop of six stations, each with fun activities featuring different science topics.

On November 17, 2012, PSYSC held another Grand BASIC in Saint Paul College, Island Park, Dasmarinas, Cavite with the help of Mrs. Luzvie Rementilla. The schools who participated were St. Pancras Academy, Scuola Sorelle Faioli, Brooke's Point Academy, Jabez Christian School, Metanoiah Academy, Philippine Christian University, and St. Paul College - Balayan.

Another Grand BASIC was held in Colegio dela Nuestra Senora de Guadalupe, Muntinlupa with the help of Sir Joel Pagkalinawan. The participating schools were Bayanan Elementary School, Cupang Elementary School, F. de Mesa Elementary School, Lakeview Elementary School, Putatan Elementary School, Soldier Hills Elementary School, and Colegio dela Nuestra Senora de Guadalupe.

The program started with the doxology and singing of the National Anthem. The students and teachers were introduced to the wonders of Smart Materials through a special science lecture. A variety of science tricks, such as Blowing up a Balloon With Baking Soda and Vinegar, P¬opping Balloon and Blooming Flower, were shown to the kids during Show Science. The students were also able to apply their knowledge and skills during the Interactive workshop with six stations, namely, the Food Web, Tangrams, Constellations, Laser Reflection, Body Puzzle, and Memory Game.  The students also presented their sub-camp cheer during the closing program. The program ended with the awarding of the certificates and winners. You could see the smiles on the faces of the children after being introduced to PSYSC and the wonders of the science clubbing movement.

Tri-Regional Convention-Workshop Closing Remarks

*delivered last March 6, 2010

After days of hard work, many sleepless nights, endless meetings through YM, facebook and cellphone, we, the regional council of region 3, 4 and NCR are very proud and thankful that this event has successfully come to an end.

We thank our fellow PSYSC members, our ates and kuyas for making this event possible. Thank you for helping and supporting us in our hard times, pushing us to do our best even though we may seem hopeless. Thank you very much for your hard work. We couldn't have done this without you.

Thank you all participants, students, teachers who came here today. We know that you all may have been busy but still you managed to have time to be here with us today. It may have been a long journey but still, you came. This event would not have been successful if not for you.

To the newly elected regional councils, we hope that you will also do your best to create even more fruitful activities like this. Be aware of your responsibilities as officers. Your challenge does not end in the regional elections. The challenge only starts there. Do your best to achieve your goals and plans. Do not do this for the sake of doing it but do this because you want it and you love it. Put your heart in it. Volunteer. Being a leader may be a big responsibility for you but as long as you put your heart in it everything will be alright.

To the students or participants in this event, we hope that you were able to learn and have fun here with us.

Sana yung mga natutunan niyo ay hindi maiiwan dito. Dalhin niyo ito kahit saan man kayo mapunta at ibahagi niyo ito sa iba. Sana ay magamit niyo ito sa inyong buhay at upang makatulong sa kalikasan at sa mundo.

Just like renewable energy for mankind, we hope that we, the youth, use our energy for the world. Sana wag sayangin ng bawat isa ang ating enerhiya sa kung ano ano at gamitin nalang ito para makatulong sa bayan.

Sa aking kapwa RCs na nandito ngayon, Jestine, Arianne, Robin, Mark, MJ, Troy, Pia, nakakaiyak mang sabihing tapos na ang ating termino, at least naging masaya at nabuo ang pagsasama ng bawat isa. Nalampasan natin ang hamong iniharap sa atin. We did a great job! Congratulations.

Again, thank you everyone. We hope that just like us, you enjoyed your day. We hope that we served as an inspiration for you today. See you again soon!
