My First Pueblo Science Camp Experience


                                                         
Last April 26-27, 2012, I attended a seminar workshop on Science Teaching. It was facilitated by Pueblo Science, a Canadian registered not-for-profit organization aiming to promote science literacy in underserved communities like the Philippines.

Mr. Cheng also taught us how to make a FLEXAGON

Then i applied all that I have learned from the science camp in my own class. I didn't have a hard time looking for materials since they are readily available. Last school year, I had a hard time during laboratory experiments because the school lacks tools and materials for the activities so i just skipped laboratory exercises.

I would like to thank and commend all the volunteers of the Pueblo Science Camp for teaching us Teachers how to conduct experiments using readily available materials. Heartfelt thanks go to Dr. Mayrose Salvador, the President of the Pueblo Science, which I'm proud to say that she's a Filipina. First,I thought the leader of this organization is Canadian since it's based in Canada. You are an inspiration, ma'am! Looking forward to Pueblo Science reaching out to more teachers in the communities that have no access to materials needed in an experiment. 
I Hope to be a volunteer in the future.   ^___^v
