National Invention and Contest Exhibit (NICE) 2020

The Technology Application Promotion Institute (TAPI) under the flagship of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST} conducted the annual National Invention and Contest Exhibit 2020 last March 3 - 5, 2020 at the SMX Convention Center, SM Aura, Taguig City. The event aimed to showcase the scientific discoveries and invention and provide a solution to the existing community-based problems in the country. The event was participated by the PSHS - CRC 12th Grade scholars who were national finalists qualified to compete along with other competitors from different regions in the Philippines. The PSHS - CRC scholars promoted their research on the "Feasibility of an Adaptive Timer in Traffic Management Using Induction Loops". The study basically reduced the traffic congestion of vehicles within the intersection of Montilla Boulevard, Butuan City through a simulation. The activity allows the scholars to exchange ideas with students, educators, inventors, and guests who visited the booth with regard to the scientific advancements and benefits of their prototypes if implemented within a community. The researchers also acquired a lot of helpful recommendations for the development of their study in the future.
