DOST-SEI launches new science bus “nuLab”
24 July 2019
STEM in Motion. NuLab mobile science learning facility joins the festivities of the 2019 National Science and Technology Week (NSTW) at the World Trade Center in Pasay City for its initial run.
Senior high school students can get a glimpse of the emerging science careers in “nuLab”, the new mobile science learning facility of the Department of Science and Technology-Science Education Institute (DOST-SEI).
This is DOST-SEI’s second science bus for Filipino learners, following the success of the Science Explorer, which has served around 32,000 elementary and high school students in more than 100 municipalities all over the country since 2010.
While the Science Explorer mostly caters to younger students, nuLab is primarily intended for senior high school students.
