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.

 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.

This year, around 60 students of various ages participated in the said event. All of them are sponsored children of the World Vision Philippines.

Three lectures about Science were given to the children by the ECATs. Rose Camile Dandan delivered a lecture on Animal Kingdom, Louise Laren Alianza discussed the Human Digestive System, and Jazer Togonon lectured about the Solar System.

“I was amazed in their [the children] responses during the lectures because they were very participative,” said Ann Elizabeth Rollon, the BASIC Outreach Directress.

A Show Science involving Science tricks like balancing nails and using invisible ink was presented to the children. An interactive workshop was also conducted with six different stations of different subjects including Basic Physics, Health Science, and Life Science.

Rollon also shared, “The children were very enthusiastic during the presentation of the science tricks. During the Interactive Workshop, they participated in their groups and listened to the instructions of their Ates and Kuyas.

They were very energetic! I was very happy and I felt touched when I saw all smiles on their faces because I can see that they were having fun and they were learning new ideas about science.”

The BASIC Outreach is an event supervised by the Publicity Committee of PSYSC headed by Hannie Lyn Talip.
