My Van De Graaf Awesome Experience. Science Park in Zamboanga City

Dreams do come true. This trip proves worth a try. Have you ever been to a Science Park nearby? We just did and guess what? Yipeee!! I just fulfilled my high school dream right on the spot!

Van De Graaf Generator is one of the fifty-six (56) interactive exhibits showcased inside the science park. Undoubtedly, this is part only of the highlight of our field trip as there are more exciting and fun-learning new experiences in store for your visit.

This is the second time that I personally have been into a Science Centrum after a long time. Back in 2004, Zamboanga City has gainfully observed different interactive exhibits housed inside, the now defunct Plaza Mall, for a month's time. Science Centrum organizers from Manila brought with them a Van De Graaf Generator in the science centrum tour wagon. However, due to the huge number of students visiting the place, I never had the chance to get inside the Van De Graaf Generator booth. I do remember looking in awe while a fellow Science High School student's hair are slowly raising in thin air.

Parque de Ciencia de Zamboanga (Zamboanga City Science Park) is the newest and lone Science Park in Region IX. Further, it is considered the biggest regional science center in the country today.

It is constructed inside the Jardin Maria Clara at the Pasonanca Park, where the city museum and the butterfly garden are also located.

The project, worth P22.44 million, is an initiative of Hon. Mayor Celso Lobregat with the Local Government of Zamboanga City while Science Centrum Fabrication, Inc. (SCFI) is the exhibit provider.

My shirt is an envy! 

Believe it, my facebook friends are asking for my Android shirt! Harharharha

We just had our Google Maps API and Google+ Workshop. Elearning Centre hosted the event  and it was facilitated by no less than the GDG Zamboanga Community Manager Jerome Locson last January 20th. He flew in from Cebu to join us in this event. Mr. Juned Sonido, WorldBank Representative also flew in from Manila to grace the occasion at the same time to formally award the Sanitation Hackathon Winning Teams. Cool SmartBro prizes were given away to winning teams and everyone got an Android shirt to brag about. Super thanks to all the sponsors!

What is the News? 
During the meet-up, Jerome Locson announced to the group that he is stepping down as Community Manager and he invited Yolynne Medina to be the new community manager along with yours truly as co-community manager.
