In pursuit of building and strengthening international linkages, Philippine Science High School-Central Luzon Campus (PSHS-CLC) welcomed graduate students from Perking University, Beijing, China together with guests from the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA), and the University of the Philippines, Diliman on July 18, 2017.

The graduate students were warmly accommodated in PSHS-CLC for their study tour which was one of the main purposes of their ten-day stay in the Philippines from July 15-25, 2017. The highlights of their visit in the campus were their remarkable and at the same time enjoyable experiences with the Chemistry and Life Sciences Unit faculty and with the Fabrication Laboratory leaders.

They were presented with and engaged in a science experiment activity in their visit in the school’s science laboratories. With the help of the faculty members from the Chemistry and Life Sciences Unit, they were able to tour around and try some of the equipment. They were welcomed with a fun activity that was also being introduced to the Grade 10 students of PSHS-CLC. The activity was used as an introduction electrophoresis technique using a fictional forensic investigation case. The activity used food colors, agar, buffers, and electrophoresis set-up that made it amusing and at the same time safe. It was also a way to appreciate the role of science in our society. The visitors were happy to be able to see that PSHS-CLC could introduce science techniques in a pleasurable and interesting way.

Another engaging part of the students’ tour was their fun experience in the PSHS-CLC Fabrication Laboratory where the school produces 3D outputs using different materials like wood, acrylic, etc. The visitors were introduced to various laser-cut and laser-engraved products as well as 3D-printed outputs made using the Computer Numerical Control (CNC) – a computer-controlled high precision tool which produces more precise products as compared with manual machining.

Overall, the guests had a very good experience in their study tour in PSHS-CLC as they experienced enjoyable learning activities in the field of Science and Technology which not only showcased the school’s advanced educational trainings and facilities but also inspired the Perking University graduate students to bring with them a significant memory to be gladly shared when they come home.
