The Science and Technology Information Institute of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST-STII) welcomes the new partnership for the grassroots with the Association of Science and Mathematics Educators of the Philippine Private Schools (ASMEPPS) during the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding held on 15 March 2022 at the host campus, St. Francis of Assisi College-Bacoor Campus. The partnership will capacitate the students and faculty personnel of the 160 ASMEPPS participating members to hone their talents and skills in communicating science through various media platforms and enhance their capabilities in content creation. Some of the activities that will form part of the partnership are the training on science communication writing, audio and video productions, and resource and publication sharing. The DOST-STII implements the Science Journo Ako program, a science communication advocacy program that provides capacity building in packaging science communication using video production, news and feature writing, social media cards development, and publication production. Leading the activity is DOST-STII Director Richard P. Burgos (3rd from left), ASMEPPS President Prof. Eloisa E. Olivera (2nd from left), DOST-STII Communication Resources and Production Division Chief Science Research Specialist Norly B. Villar (right), and ASMEPPS Vice President Dr. Santos T.
