Library experience will never be the same again for the students of Dayap National High School in Barangay Dayap, Calauan, Laguna with the installation of the Super STARBOOKS in their campus. What makes their enhanced library experience more meaningful is their school being named the 1000th site of STARBOOKS.

STARBOOKS is the first digital science library-in-a-box in the country. It stands for Science and Technology Academic and Research-Based Openly Operated Kiosk Station developed by the Science and Technology Information Institute (STII), an agency of the Department of Science and Technology.

Local entrepreneurs now have more channels to help them further reach potential clients. With the launch of the Department of Science and TechnologyTechnology Application and Promotion Institute’s  two publications, entrepreneurs who availed of DOST support now have more market opportunities.

“I hope everyone here is as excited as I am to marvel at the collection of DOST-assisted innovations in ‘Kalipunan: Compendium of DOST Technologies’, to be inspired by stories of entrepreneurial success in the ‘Compendium of Successful TAPI-Assisted Projects Under Venture Financing Program,” said DOST Secretary Fortunato T. de la Peña in a speech delivered by Undersecretary Rowena Cristina Guevara.

Homegrown innovators recently staged innovative products to prospective investors even as the Department of Science and Technology gave the biggest push for this convergence.

Said convergence, dubbed “Leaders in Innovation Fellowship (LIF) Demo Day”, was held recently at the Asian Institute of Management (AIM) in Makati City by the Royal Academy of Engineering and AIM, with support from DOST.
