A series of of online robotics trainings and workshops for teachers was recently conducted through a collaboration among Provincial Science and Technology Center of Zambales (PSTC-Zambales) , the City Government of Olongapo, A+ Solutions Development Center Corporation and Nerdvana Romania Private Educational Center from July 30 to August 4,2021. A total of 10 Olongapo City teachers were trained on the principles of algorithm, programming, line followers, color sensors and inertia involving robots.
This first step in the establishment of a robotics training facility was made possible through the DOST Central Luzon Grants-in-Aid (GIA) Program.
The project aims to motivate more students to pursue careers in science and technology by capacitating them in the design prototypes, building and testing machines, and in developing the software that control the robots. Students will likewise be trained to conduct research and find the most cost-efficient and safest way to manufacture robotic systems.

The province of Nueva Ecija is not only popular for its bountiful ricelands but also famous because of the Pantabangan Dam. It is a multi-purpose dam mainly used for hydroelectric power generation and irrigation for the vast rice fields of the province. Communities near the reservoir have also learned to make a living out of fishing.
Brgy Conversion, in particular which is a geographically isolated area in the municipality of Pantabangan depends on fishing as a main source of livelihood. But people in the community noticed a steady decline in their catch which poses a threat not only to their livelihood but also to their main source of food supply.
Thus, with the colaborative effort of the Department of Science and Technology - Region III (DOST-III) through its Nueva Ecija provincial office, the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) and the Central Luzon State University (CLSU), in cooperation with the local government unit of Pantabangan, a project to assist the members of the Conversion Vegetable and Corn Growers Association and fisherfolks in the town was conceived.

Memorandum of Agreements have been recently signed by three (3) Local Government Units in Tarlac with the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) in Central Luzon for the implementation of projects that will improve their waste management systems and also provide livelihood opportunities for their constituents.
Through the project, the municipality of Mayantoc aims to demonstrate a model waste management system for its public market through the provision of an in-vessel composter that will replace the manual composting method they are now currently using, the window type. The in-vessel rotary composter can process 600 to 700 kilogram of biodegradable wastes in 5-6 days, reducing odor and vermin attraction. The end-product, organic fertilizer, wil be used for the greening program of the municipality and could also be sold to their existing buyers of compost. “Adoption of strategies that will help preserve and protect our environment is among our priority programs. We are grateful that this is in line with DOST’s aim to provide science-based solutions to community problems“, said Mayor Julie P. Icmat.
