"NuLab" Mobile Science Facility Rolled Out at 2019 NSTW
Students from San Francisco High School and researchers from the Department of Science and Technology - Philippine Nuclear Research Institute (DOST-PNRI) were among the first to experience one of DOST's newest mobile science facility - the "nuLab" bus.
NuLab is a bus designed to enable secondary school students to discover their potentials in various disciplines in Science, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM), including nuclear science and technology, and eventually consider careers along these lines. It is equipped with audio-visual and educational tools and equipment useful in introducing concepts and developing skills among the students relevant to building the future human resource of an IR 4.0-ready Philippines.
Among the modules being used in the nuLab are nuclear science-related experiments, including detection of radiation in the environment using survey meters.
The facility also includes a strategic campaign called “#Push4Science: Maging DOST Scholar Ka!” at the end of every session, to persuade the student participants to apply to the DOST-SEI undergraduate scholarship programs.
The nuLab was rolled-out by the DOST-Science Education Institute (DOST-SEI) as part of the students' activity during the 2019 National Science and Technology Week (NSTW) from July 17-21, 2019 at the World Trade Center, Pasay City.
