My Project

Applying scientific concepts that students have learned in the classroom will be best shown through STEM Projects. Students will be more aware of their social, economic, and environmental needs. As they progress, they will become real-life problem solvers and life-long learners.

This project aims to challenge the minds of my students in doing critical thinking and showcasing their creativity in solving real-life problems.

My students love doing hands-on projects that they can do collaboratively with their classmates or other students in the school. Teachers like me in a village school would like to give them support in and out of the classroom. The use of solar energy in this project, using various materials like solar panels, magnets, and generators, will make students realize that harnessing this energy will benefit their lives in the future.
