 I'm Jivari Tapang, the project leader of Vicer and the versatile instrumentation system for science, education, and research. Around five years ago, I met two grade one students, Agnes and Mario, in Rodriguez Rizal. They told me that they want to be scientists. The problem is that when Mario and Agnes go to high school, only 64% of high schools would have laboratories that will allow them to learn science. One has to do science hands-on. One has to do science with experiments. 4,500 of 13,000 high schools do not really have laboratories. Of those who have laboratories, only one-third of these would have access to the newer digital measuring devices. In UP, we have developed a low-cost portable handheld device coupled with sensors called Vicer that can be distributed to local high schools that can be aided to learn science and engineering. This is a science kit with 120 experiments with learning modules and handhelds with a fraction of the commercially available technologies. It can be used without a PC. It can be used to stand alone as a data logger or a programmable device for some other purpose like robotics of students. We are putting out a basic set of the Vicer system which sensors the kit with basic experiments with the manuals that they can use to mix and match with particular experiments. It will allow students to do experiments in a wide range of fields including physics, chemistry, biology, environmental science and engineering. It has been pilot-tested in more than 10 locations, Davao, Quezon City, Ilegan, Cebu, Bataan, Baguio, Mindoro, Laguna and Ilocos. And we have had teachers training on how to use Vicer in their teaching. We are now looking for manufacturing and distributing partners to bring this to our schools and to the homes of our students. It is content made by Filipino scientists in collaboration with Dr. Mel Gomez of the University of Maryland, Professor Alta Veras of DPLB, Dr. Rojas Miliñueva, and Biology, Engineering, Chemistry, Physics, Environmental Science experts in UP Deliman. This is UP's contribution in upgrading STEM education in the country. Vicer will allow us to put modern science laboratories in high schools all over the country and transform the curiosity of people like Mario and Agnes into scientific competency.
