This is a press release from Aries Oliveros/ Philippine Science High School System

Teams from 5 campuses of the Philippine Science High School (PSHS) System won 12 awards in an international camp hosted by the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Center for the Gifted in Science (ACGS) in South Korea on January 9-10 and 15-17.

Dubbed as the 10th Online ACGS-ASEAN +3 Student Camp for the Gifted in Science, the virtual event had two stages where the participating teams presented their research proposal through a preliminary study video and their proposed research and experiment in the final round.

Because of the pandemic, participants attended online activities instead of the usual camp where participants interacted face-to-face with scientists and science professors. (READ: Pisay campuses set temporary academic breaks after students’ pleas go viral)

“We think our role for gifted students is to draw their ability, build up an international network in order to and make them use the network for their career and research in the future in the field of science and technology,” Chairman of ASEAN+3 Center for the Gifted in Science Prof. Chang Oung Park said in his message published on the organization’s website.

“And, of course, this workforce, which the gifted students will be someday, would be greatly helpful to make APT region raise its status in the international society,” he added.

At least 10 ASEAN+3 member countries and partner countries joined the international event with approximately 170 participants that formed around 45 teams. This included participants from Brunei Darussalam, China, Indonesia, Philippines, Republic of Korea, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Sweden.

Besides strengthening cross-culture exchange among ASEAN+3 nations, the organization aims to give appropriate education for the gifted in science through idea sharing among specialists in science education and to provide the environment and opportunities to enable the gifted in science to contribute towards world development, by extension towards world peace.

The science camp was also supported by the Science Society of International Gifted in Science, ASEAN Secretariat, and Korean Foundation for the Advanced Science and Technology. – Rappler.com
