ANHS Hosts 4th Annual Science Clubs Summit

Last September 5 to 6, 2009 the Agusan National High School hosted the 4th National Science Clubs Summit with its theme: “Structural Engineering” in according to the celebration of the National Science Clubs Month or NSCM. Many different delegates from different places of the Caraga Region gave their time in attending this two-day activity, each of them hoping to learn something new and to experience new things. This summit was founded by the Philippine Society of Youth Science Clubs with its theme: “Science Clubbers: The Catalysts for Global Change”.
Chapter one started with the NSCM and Summit Opening Program also together with the lecture in the Amphitheater. There was a speaker from Camp Rodriguez and from the PSYSC. The speaker from the Camp Rodriguez told the delegates about how important it is to have people like her and that to never stop a child’s dream if ever he wants to be a public servant especially with a job of a police. The speaker from the PSYSC shared the delegates about his knowledge in Structural Engineering like about columns, beams, arches, poles and many other more. When program the ended, the Subcamp Congregation started. All in all, there were 21 subcamps and each was assigned to prepare a jingle to present in the evening for the contest in the socials night. Lunch break was from 11:30 to 1PM, and then the Team-Building Workshop began with all the games galore where each subcamp has to make a great structure out of Popsicle sticks. The popsicles challenge ended at 3PM because after that time, two new other games were introduced. They were the “GO-CHOKI-PA!” and “My Body” game. All the games ended at 5PM for the preparation of the pledge and socials night at 7PM and also for the dinner. Everything went well and the night was full of games like the Limbo Rock and after that, chapter one has ended and everyone slept soundly in bed.
Chapter two started with a “Pulot Kalat” drive which is another contest by each of the subcamps. The next game was for those individuals who have talents in structural engineering which was about building a spaghetti bridge and giant slippers from egg shells. After these games, lunch pushed itself through and then at 1PM, the Awarding and Closing Ceremonies was situated in the Amphitheater which was also finished at 3PM.
This summit was also made possible in cooperation of the Science Department Head, Mrs. Julita N. Garcia and the School Principal, Mr. Peter G. Esterioso.
