MDOCS Students Empowered Through SIP Training
โ Science Investigatory Project (SIP) Training was successfully conducted by the Deanery of St. Lukeโs students last August 15โ16, 2025. This event focuses on empowering young minds to explore, inquire, and innovate for a sustainable future.
According to Carl Salazar, a student from Mina De Oro Catholic School who won the โBest in Research Titleโ and โBest in Science Improvisation Projectโ awards, the event was themed โInquire, Investigate, Innovate: Empowering Student Scientists for Sustainable Solutions.โ The training aimed to develop the research skills of young scientists through hands-on activities, discussions, and mentorship. โScience Investigatory Project (SIP) is a student-led research project that applies the scientific method to investigate a problem, test a hypothesis, or develop an innovation,โ says Salazar, highlighting that it trains participants on how to conduct scientific research properlyโfrom identifying a topic to presenting results. Salazar added that SIP Training focuses on developing young researchersโ skills and helps students by providing essential and up-to-date information related to research.
According to Salazar, SIP Training equips students with the knowledge, skills, and mindset to explore. โIt is important because it equips students with the knowledge, skills, and mindset to explore, discover, and innovateโturning curiosity into real scientific understanding and solutions,โ Salazar said in his final statement, emphasizing the significance of Science Investigatory Project Training.
