Rationale:
The COVID-19 pandemic has underscored the pressing need to focus more on
elevating the interest of students in science, technology and innovation. This public
health emergency has urged schools to be resourceful and innovative in delivering
quality, accessible and relevant education. In response to this, San Juan High School
believe that acquiring STARBOOKS will enhance the students’ interest in science and
technology which has been a challenged to teachers and students because of the
pandemic.
STARBOOKS or the Science and Technology Academic and Research Based
Openly Operated Kiosk Stations of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST)
is an offline library-in-a-box that contains thousands of digital resources on science,
technology, engineering and mathematics in various texts, video and audio formats
placed in “pods” set in a user-friendly interface. Making it available in the school will
augment the curiosity of the students as well as the community in the world of science
and technology.
With this, San Juan High School has reached out to the Department of Science
