CLSU Welcomes 3rd Batch of Youth Science Program

The Central Luzon State University (CLSU) officially welcomes the Batch 3 students from the Philippine Science High School Luzon campuses: Cagayan Valley Campus, Bicol Region Campus, Central Luzon Campus, and CALABARZON Campus for the DOST-PCAARRD Youth Science Program (DPYSP), which will run from May 25 to June 17, 2026. This 15-day program marks another meaningful journey of mentoring, immersion, and community of practice, aiming to inspire young minds to see the Agriculture, Aquatic, and Natural Resources (AANR) sector as a field of innovation, leadership, and nation-building. Throughout the program, the participants will be guided by mentors and resource persons, comprising experts from CLSU and the Community of Elders of DOST-PCAARRD, who will share their knowledge, experience, and inspiration in the fields of science, technology, agriculture, aquatic resources, and natural resources. Building from the accomplishments of Year 1, DPYSP continues to provide senior high school students with opportunities to engage with scientists, researchers, mentors, and communities through hands-on learning experiences. More than learning about agriculture and science, the program aims to strengthen students’ awareness, positive perceptions, and aspirations for S&T careers in AANR, showing them that agriculture is not only about farming but also about technology, research, sustainability, and service to communities. The project is led by Dr. Melanie P. Tolentino, together with Mr. Junior M. Pacol and Ms. Erica Fae De Fiesta as project staff, and Ms. Lovely Sacare and Mr. Brandon Alan N. Lamson as research assistants.
