A flicker of interest in science is all that it takes to spark a passion that turns citizens into scientists, engineers, entrepreneurs, inventors, and innovators.
This was according to Department of Science and Technology Secretary Fortunato T. Dela Peña as the agency seeks to have a Science Centrum in each region of the country. The opening of a Science Centrum is one of the techniques DOST developed to communicate science to the public.
This Regional Science Centrum is the second of the first five Regional Science Centrum put up by DOST in the regions in partnership with the Local Government Units and universities. Aside from the interactive exhibits, the science centrum also has DOST’s Science and Technology Academic and Research-Based Openly Operated Kiosk Stations an information kiosk where hundreds of thousands of digitized science and technology resources in various formats can be accessed and be used in assignments, research, or even businesses.
