Manuel Peralta Elementary School would like to extend a heartfelt gratitude to the Department of Science and Technology XI (DOST) for the installation of Solar Powered Science and Technology Academic and Research-Based Openly Operated Kiosks (STARBOOKS). The project aims to provide STI (Science, Technology, and Innovation)-based content in various formats to students and other constituents in geographically-isolated and economically-challenged schools and communities throughout the country. We are truly honored to be one of the chosen schools in Davao Occidental to enjoy and experience free access on S&T information for academic and livelihood use.
