Girls in STEM

Senior High School students Kristin Lana C. Bernardino and Nicole O. Flores from the Felta TechVoc Academy in Bulacan prepare their prototype mobile robot at TESDA’s Labor Day exhibit. The two won in the recently concluded Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) strand for the National Skills Competition Mobile Robotics Champion and will represent the country in the World Skills competition in mobile robotics in July 2023 in Singapore. Their prototype robot can be used as an assistant to deliver, retrieve, and sort medicine and hazardous materials to different patient rooms and nursing stations in hospitals.
