Science, technology and innovation played a major role in building
great nations, spreading global modernization and shaping the world
where we live.
One of the activities for September is the celebration of the National Science Club
Month. This is mandated in Proclamation No. 264 which was signed by
former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo in 2002.The theme of the Science Month Celebration in the year 2014 is “Immunation: Arming Science Clubbers with Healthful Defenses Toward National Wellness.” The aim of the week-long festival is to promote the relevance of
science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) to our everyday lives
and to demonstrate their importance to the future development of Irish
society and to the economy. It is a play on words on ammunition and immunization. They would like also science
clubbers to be armed/to be immune against diseases through imparting
knowledge about disease, how they spread, etc. The goal is not only the science clubbers that benefit from this knowledge but also their school and communities and thus leading to national wellness. Immunization is the best of human effort to prevent diseases. So many diseases could prevented by the immunization, but not every high mortality diseases had their immunization as the choice of prevention.
Health is wealth. We have to
take good care of our health. Let us all be Science Clubbers!
