In line with Manresa School's vision-mission to form Christ-centered, globally competent, and self-actualized individuals in service of the Church and the world, Grades 9 and 10 students had the opportunity to present and defend their science investigatory projects on March 24, 28, and 29. These research projects attempted to address community problems while engaging with internal and external panelists to refine their studies and enhance their research skills.

Grade 9 focused on developing Arduino-based prototypes, while Grade 10 explored a broader range of scientific investigations beyond prototype development. Many projects centered on harnessing renewable energy, improving agricultural productivity, and innovating practical solutions—aligning with Pope Francis' Global Compact on Education, which calls for a renewed commitment to education that fosters fraternity, peace, and care for our common home.

The Grade 9 courageously and proudly presented and defended their projects to the panelists and their Science and TLE teachers.

The Grade 10 students presented and defended their outputs to the panelists.

Through this experience, students honed their scientific inquiry and problem-solving skills while deepening their commitment to meaningful solutions. By collaborating with research advisers and experts and continuously refining their work, they embodied the school's mission—demonstrating that science and technology can drive positive change in both local and global communities.

Blessed Be God Forever!
