Gubat 2.0 Project: Innovating Agricultural Education

The goal of the Gubut 2.0 Project is to transform high school education by raising awareness about innovative farming techniques that are based on technology rather than traditional methods. The project aims to improve the effectiveness of current hydroponic systems. The main objectives are a Design Thinking Innovation Workshop, a thorough workshop bundle for teachers, and a proposal to enhance the Gubat 2.0 system. This project not only teaches students about modern farming methods, but also provides educators with the necessary resources to promote creative thinking in the classroom, ultimately leading to a more sustainable future in agriculture.

She Rise Project: Empowering Women in the Philippines

Both activities promote teamwork and collaboration within the community while also aiding in the personal and professional development of individuals.
