For the first time ever, Leave a Nest brings Science Castle to the Philippines in 2025!
Science Castle in the Philippines (SCPH) is a multidisciplinary research exhibition where Filipino high school students will showcase their innovative research and advance their scientific skills. More than a typical conference, this event will offer enriching hands-on workshops that will further knowledge beyond the classroom. Additionally, SCPH creates unique opportunities for students to gain insights and build meaningful connections with academia, industry leaders, and partner companies, thus bridging science and society. In doing so, SCPH will empower the next generation of researchers to tackle community challenges and drive scientific progress across the nation.
Moreover, SCPH will offer dedicated program segments for teachers. Through EduTech talks and panel discussions, educators will expand their repertoires in effective knowledge sharing and student engagement, thereby enhancing the overall learning experience and contributing to the continuous development of society.

Students will engage in interactive demonstrations, hands-on activities, or specialized workshops, in collaboration with Philippine startups and companies. These sessions are planned to cover a variety of topics, such as food science, engineering, computer science, and biotechnology. Four concurrent workshop sessions will be offered, with approximately thirty (30) students per session. To accommodate all participants, the workshops will be organized into three (3) rotations.
Teachers will discover how deep-tech solutions ignite creativity, cultivate research skills, and open doors to sustainable opportunities, all while sparking collaboration and entrepreneurial potential in education. This dynamic panel will delve into how startups, government, and educators are revolutionizing education through cutting-edge, research-driven innovations.
