LSS CAMP 2015

The word 'sustainable' means maintainable or bearable. Hence sustainable

development refers to that development which may be prolonged for a considerable

period of time or which may be bearable by the system and the society. It refers to a

type of development that meets the needs of the present generation, maintains same

level of development for a longer period of time, conserves the existing resources for

the future generation so that same level of development could continue and causes very

little or no damage to the environment.

The L.S.S. amp was conceptuali!ed by the Science "lliance lub in order to

foster the importance of sustainability and the application of Science concepts and

processes for the attainment of a sustainable future.

The main reason of choosing the amp title roots from the personality of the youth

today. LSS is an abbreviation for Last Song Syndrome. In contemporary pop culture, the

youth are easily attached to new songs which they play many times. #ven when they

are already listening to a new one, they can$t help but to still sing the song they had

played many times. The Science "lliance aims to ensure hat the experiences,

%nowledge, s%ills, and attitude that the participants of the LSS amp will always be

played and practiced by them so that Science for Sustainability will wor% its way on

everyone$s habit. &y then, we can truly achieve a brighter and sustainable future for all

of od$s creation.

The (orld ommission on #nvironment and )evelopment established by the

*nited +ations has defined sustainable development as development that meets the

needs of the present without compromising the ability of the future generations to meet

their own needs. The essential needs of the world's poor has been emphasised as the

priority. Therefore, the two crucial ob-ectives of sustainable development are /i0

satisfaction of basic human needs, and /ii0 ensure survival of human beings and all

living creatures.

The concept of sustainable development has emerged as a prescription for

human survival and maintenance of ecosystem health. 1ne of the priority re2uirements

for achieving such development is to create sustainable human societies.

Membership Participation

The LSS amp was participated by all Science 3a-ors. The three4day activity

allows them to see various things in a different way. It enables them to put their learningin the activities provided. +ot only that it offered fun activities, but also it introduced

them to reality. The involvement of today's youth in environment and development

decision4ma%ing and in the implementation of programs is critical to the long4term

success of every country.

"lthough the proportion of young people in cities is growing rapidly, few studies

ta%e into account the diversity of and views on their urban experiences. This is an

examination of the lives, capacities, and agencies of urban youth in the developingworld and an identification of significant gaps for research. In particular, this boo%

provides a highlight of the political economy of youth4focused development in an

increasingly urbani!ing world. 5olitical4economic processes that shape and are shaped

by young people$s urban lives get particular attention.

This camp also offered avenues in sociali!ation among Science ma-ors which

made it more meaningful.

Benefit to the Organization

Time spent outdoors is the perfect way to re-uvenate the body, mind, and soul.

etting away from the hustle4bustle of the city life and unwinding in nature's cradle can

prove to be really beneficial. &ut this camp was not -ust an ordinary camp that ma%es

you relax and catch up or meet friends, or get away from the same old routine and head

for the outdoors. It was conceptuali!ed in order for the members of the Science "lliance

lub to be participative in terms of the achievement of sustainable development goals

which the club adheres

The LSS amp held on +ovember 67466, 6789 at &icol *niversity ollege of

#ducation was considered to be one of the best recreational activities that are a favorite

among students especially by Science ma-ors. The benefits of this camp are

multifarious, with each person gaining something different from the experience.

Sustainable development means different things to different people and so to the

members of this organi!ation. It engaged them to different activities that allow them to


3/8

gain %nowledge and inspire them to ta%e actions towards sustainable development.

Sustainable development focuses on improving the 2uality of life for all of the #arth's

citi!ens without increasing the use of natural resources beyond the capacity of the

environment to supply them indefinitely. It re2uires an understanding that in every

action, there will always have conse2uences. The members of the lub certainly made

their reali!ations during, and after the said activity. (e must find innovative ways to

change institutional structures and influence individual behavior. It is about ta%ing

action, changing policy and practice at all levels, from the individual to the international.

Sustainable development is not a new idea. 3any cultures over the course of human

history have recogni!ed the need for harmony between the environment, society and

economy. (hat is new is an articulation of these ideas in the context of a global

industrial and information society and involving the Science 3a-ors of &icol *niversity

ollege of #ducation which represents the Science "lliance lub.

Vale to Organization

The LSS amp helped the members of the organi!ation to gain a 2uic% overview

of what sustainable development is and why it is important. They learned about thegrowing concern for the future of our interloc%ed ecological and economic systems in a

highly populated world that is characteri!ed by ma-or social disparities. It reflects the

diversity of our experiences and what sustainable development means in practical terms

to people here in the 5hilippines.

The camp was a life changing experience for its participants because it too%

them out of the modern world we live in today, and put things in perspective. The

camping taught those many things other than camping s%ills. It taught them not to be somaterialistic. It taught them that getting away from it all can be a relaxing, rewarding

experience, even if they had to wor% half the time to survive or accomplish the activities

given by the organi!ers. It taught them to appreciate some technology on a whole new

level. It brought them closer to their friends as well as the Science 3a-ors themselves.

It opened up new doors not -ust to the members of the organi!ation who participated the

said activity but especially to the organi!ation itself, the Science "lliance.

The Science "lliance certainly achieved its goals in putting up the LSS amp.

Science 3a-ors actively participated in every event. The creativity and s%ill of the

&*eGos was once again showcased. "nd we are all anticipating for more activities of

the Science "lliance lub.

Science #$hibit 2015

The Science #xhibit is an annual display of the most exciting cutting4edge

science and technology instructional materials and science tric%s in the &icol *niversity

ollege of #ducation. This is being organi!ed by the Science "lliance lub in order for

the Science ma-ors to have a chance to present various wonders in their field of

speciali!ation through the displays to the students of the &icol *niversity, as well as to

the students outside the campus.

Science is a great blessing to man%ind. The world into which science came was

a world of ignorance, suffering and hardship. Science has come to relieve us of

suffering, to remove our ignorance and to lighten our toil. Science is a faithful servant of

man. It has transformed our daily life, providing us with necessaries and luxuries.

Science has spanned the s%y, measured the ocean and revealed many secrets of

nature. So we cannot ignore the importance of science in the modern world.

" school is the place where students are molded for future life. Students are the

promises of tomorrow. So they should be made aware of the importance of science.

Science exhibitions in schools play a pivotal role in this regard. Science exhibitions

create a scientific spirit among the students, increasing their thin%ing and reasoning

power. These can ma%e the students creative and in2uisitive. " student gets an

opportunity to ma%e a pro-ect or wor%ing model with his own hands. He comes to %now

of the basic principles of the functioning of an instrument. He gets the opportunity to

devise pro-ects for saving fuel, to solve the energy crisis and a lot of other things related

to daily life. He also gets into ac2uaintance with many new scientific devices and

principles. "ll these will increase his interest in science. This will help him in hispersonal life and such a person will be an asset to the nation.

The education department of the government should ta%e the initiative for

conducting science exhibits in schools. The school authorities should ta%e up this

mission. These exhibits can encourage a healthy competition in the student community.

The purpose of Science exhibit is to develop scientific attitude in the young minds

of our country to ma%e them reali!e the interdependence of science, technology and

socio economic development.

Membership Participation

There were nine bloc%s which represent each booth. #ach booth has three wor%s

of display. So, the there were twenty seven wor%s on display, including photos,installations and interactive wor%s of different bloc%s that explore the relation between

3an and nature and technology. The perspectives of this relationship are diverse,

romantic and utopian at times. The ob-ective of the said event was for the Science

students to present %nowledge and information on science and technology to the

students in the campus. This is also to provide a common platform to school teachers

and students for illustrating their ideas. This exhibit has given shape to the creative and

innovative ideas of the members of the organi!ation and provided scope for the

development of students in the field of science.

The Science #xhibit 6789 was actively participated by all Science ma-ors in the

college.

Benefit to the organization

The ob-ectives of the lub to this activity were achieved by presenting the

exhibits through improvisations of science %its and various devices. It is an exciting

experience of creativity and innovations for students as well as teachers. The models

created and presented provided solutions>ideas>information to many present and future

socio4economic problems particularly those confronted in the rural areas, using

available materials and local resources. The exhibit helped the students to learn from

each others$ experiences and motivate them to design and develop something new and

novel.

The Science #xhibit 6789 also provided a medium for populari!ing science and

increasing awareness among the public towards it. #xpected outcome of the science

exhibition was to stimulate interest in science and technology among students and

inculcate scientific spirit in younger generations. It also helped to explore and

encourage scientific and technological talent among students.

The event provided a sense of pride in the students$ scientific4mindedness.

Such event encouraged a problem solving approach by developing the appropriate

technologies. It also helped in integrating scientific ideas with daily life situations.


7/8

This Science #xhibit provided exploratory experiences and promote creative

thin%ing and manipulative s%ills among students through self devised exhibits or models

or simple apparatus.

The organi!ation benefited in such a way that it had developed a more Science

inclined members that inspires other non4Science ma-or students. "lso, it embodies the

lub itself in terms of populari!ing science among other students and create an

awareness regarding the role of science and technology in socio4economic and

sustainable growth of the country.

Vale to Organization

The Science tric%s and instructional materials presented in the exhibit met a

stringent test for usefulness. Surprising to some, participating in a science exhibit is one

of the best learning experiences a student can underta%e. (hat ma%es a science exhibit

such a great learning experience is that it involves so much more than science.

1f course, learning about science is at the heart of a science exhibit. 1ur society

relies more on science every day, and science fairs are a great way for students tobecome more %nowledgeable about how the world around them wor%s. #very citi!en

needs sufficient science literacy to ma%e educated decisions about what he or she

reads in the media, about health care, and about other every4day problems.

It is important for the Science "lliance lub to establish this %ind of activity. There

are certain values of organi!ing such exhibits in school. Students get a platform to show

what they have learned and what they are good at, as well.

The members of the organi!ation get a chance to apply or do the practical aspect

of the things that they have learned from the classroom. These are real opportunities for

the students to easily implement the things that they have learned from the four corners

of a classroom.

There are many students who always try to implement the things that they learn

and they find these platforms of exhibits a great way to showcase what and all that they

have tried. It is always good to give the students a chance for implementing the things

that they have learned and also to apply their ideas and present things differently in

their own uni2ue way.


8/8

"lso, when an exhibit li%e this is held in a school,the students need to explain

about what they are presenting. It is really a great chance for the students to spea% well.

In most cases, the students need to explain to the faculties, their fellow students, -udges

and may also need to explain to people who come from outside to see the exhibit. This

helped in boosting in their s%ills in spea%ing and thus their confidence. There are

chances for them to get that well. The Science "lliance lub certainly has the

competitive, smart, and confident members that will follow the lub$s principles and will

continue in the next years to come.
