S&T enthusiasts are in for a treat this coming 17 to 21 July 2018 as the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) headed by Sec. Fortunato T. de la Peña leads the nation in celebrating the 2018 National Science and Technology Week (NSTW) at the World Trade Center (Halls A-C) in Pasay City.

A mix of Grade 11 and college students recently made a milestone in Philippine history by touching base with the International Space Station (ISS) and even interviewing an astronaut on board. The ISS is a habitable artificial satellite that serves as space environment laboratory for various experiments and testing of spacecraft systems and equipment required for missions.

This coming academic year 2018-2019, DOST-Region 8 has a total of 388 scholars (229 RA 7687 Scholars and 159 Merit Scholars) joining the 8,994 Department of Science and Technology-Science Education Institute (DOST-SEI) scholars all over the Philippines. DOST scholarship is among the government programs which create impact not just to the recipients but also to the scholars’ whole family.
