  6. Overview:Science Fairs • Participated in Intel ISEF since 1998. For this current school-year, more than 3,000 students collectively participated at the school/campus, division, regional and national levels. • Aside from the Intel Philippines Science Fair (IPSF), the following are held: • Regional Science High Schools Congress • Science Fair sponsored by the ASEP (Association of Science Educators of the Philippines) • Inventors’ Competition and Exhibition (Technological Applications and Promotions Institute – TAPI – Department of Science and Technology) • Campus-level science fairs for Philippine Science High Schools • Community and government assistance are in the form of provision of resources (materials, money and time) and moral support from the parents and teachers.

  7. Challenges • Cultivating science culture early: How to mold young minds in the discipline of science • Quality of Projects • Need to have capacity building programs for teacher-advisers to manage and provide assistance to the students in the conduct of basic science research • Conducting quality science research on a budget • Organization and management • Need to help teachers network with available resources in the academe, industries and other agencies for experimentation and testing • Continuity of work on research projects: • how to build on previous research done • Need to ensure intellectual property protection • Find opportunities for publication of qualified science research projects in science journals and/or presentation in international forums
