    Present in the opening ceremony were Nueva Vizcaya Cong. Carlos M.

    In his speech, Cong. Carlos M. Padilla emphasized how interactive display encourages students to be more interested in learning science the fun way. He also pointed out how TYKFI’s objectives are aligned with the 13-point agenda of Gov. Ruth Padilla in her “Prayers N Faith” program. Education Program Supervisor Mrs. Evelyn Ramos highlighted that the exhibits are also freely accessible to all, not just to the well-off, “The TYKFI is the brain and the heart of this Science Sparks! Traveling Science Centrum, who take pains in bringing these hands-on apparatus and science equipment, which the city people and affluent only can access. But here we enjoy these for free from the TYKFI.”

    The teachers were also expressive of their thoughts on how the caravan will help the students, “This project helps a lot of the pupils especially during their science classes. They will see the actual materials/equipment, and they will experience the actual effect of lightning and electricity, voiced by Gertrudes D. Pilare, Teacher-I from Alfonso Castañeda Central School. They will soon encounter their day to day activity on energy and later on they will use this knowledge on how to make or experiment and build up investigatory project on energy as they go on to higher learning, commented by Hope A. Gonzales, Teacher-I also from Alfonso Castañeda Central school. 

    At the end of the day, learning should not be confined in the four corners of the classroom. Learning should be fun, interactive and amusing. This way, the concepts are absorbed and remembered more effectively. The Science Sparks caravan provided a great medium for this kind of learning. TYKFI will continue to support unconventional and effective ways for students to learn.
