VIA GRAPHIC PLUS — The National Academy of Science and Technology, Philippines (NAST PHL), through the Philippine Science Heritage Center (PSHC), launched the Salin-Kaalaman Caravan on 17 September 2026, at Bicutan, Taguig City.
Launched as part of NAST PHL’s 50th Anniversary celebration, the Salin-Kaalaman Caravan is a mobile science exhibit designed to bring science education beyond the walls of the PSHC and directly to schools and communities across the country.
PSHC is a science museum that showcases the country’s scientific heritage, achievements, and contributions of Filipino scientists. Through its exhibits and educational programs, PSHC promotes public appreciation of science and inspires young Filipinos to pursue STEM.
The initiative aims to make science more accessible and engaging for Filipino students, particularly those in geographically isolated and underserved communities. Through hands-on, interactive activities, the caravan seeks to encourage students to develop an interest in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) while introducing them to the contributions of Filipino scientists.
The Salin-Kaalaman Caravan features four interactive boards containing educational games and activities focused on science and Filipino National Scientists. One featured attraction is HoloHeroes, an augmented reality game that lets students discover the lives and contributions of the country’s National Scientists through an interactive experience, similar to the interactive Holopad experience available at the PSHC in Bicutan, Taguig City.
The caravan also features Science League and Atomix, which were among the winning entries of Salinlahi Evolution 2024. Including these games gives students a chance to learn scientific concepts through interactive, engaging activities.
By combining interactive exhibits, educational games, augmented reality, and stories of Filipino scientists, the initiative aims to show how science connects to everyday life and national development.
The Salin-Kaalaman Caravan reflects NAST PHL and PSHC’s continuing commitment to preserve and promote the country’s scientific heritage while making science more accessible to the Filipino public, particularly the next generation of learners.
Started in 1927, the Philippines Graphic is the longest-running printed magazine of national circulation that provides relevant news and features and promotes Philippine literature.
