Something About Sci-tech Week..

Last month,we just had our Sci-tech week.It was a very hectic week.During that week,there were science congress and science fair performed by the 4th year students in UP.The projects also of the 1st,2nd and 3rd years were presented.

Eventhough students were very busy that week preparing for their projects,it was still fun because there were no classes.Each day,we have an activity so we don't have any classes.But that Thursday during that week,we had a class the whole day and our teachers managed to give us new lessons to study.Eventhough we had a class that day,during the next day was the closing of the Sci-tech week.We had game and radio quiz.That day too was the awarding of the winners in the contests in each year levels.In the first years was the slogan writing contest.In the second years was the contest in reused geometrical figures.In the third years was about the titration of diffeent kinds of vinegars.And in the fourth years was their investigatory projects during the science congress ans science fair.The winners in the slogan writing contest were already announced.I thought that it was just going to be a boring awarding ceremony but it was not.During the announcing of the winners for the contest in reused geometrical figures .I really didn't hope or wish to win because I really didn't think that our project could win.But when it announced that the first place went to our KOKO robot project,I really could not believe it!Even my other groupmates in that project didn't expect that blow.At first,I thought,maybe I heard it wrong but I can't deny it.I heard it with my newly cleaned ears!I was still shocked that time and I don't know what to do.My other groupmate,Mary Jale,kept telling me that we should go to the stage to get our price but I told her to go alone because I don't want to be exposed.When she already got our prize,she then let me and our other groupmate,Grechelle,to see what our prize was.Three hundred pesos!It's not like everyday that you have a free one hundred pesos!We are only three in the group so it was really a coincidence to have exactly three hundred pesos as the cash prize which meant that each one of us can get ne hundred pesos.The awarding continued and declared the winners for the 3rd year and 4th year contests.Many students were surprised too when they heard their teams or groups being called.Many went home happy that day,many went home sad for not winning but for sure,veryone really enjoyed that Sci-tech week we had.


That Sci-tech week we had was really enjoyable with all the activities and educational contests.It was a very memorable week for me not just because I won something that week but because I learned some new interestng things about science that week.So let us improve Filipino lives through technological and scientific development!(chaar!)
