DOST-STII partnered with a youth-led nonprofit organization to install a solar-powered STARBOOKS kiosk at a school for indigenous people in a remote community in Oriental Mindoro.

The DOST-Science and Technology Information Institute and Mountain Support PH, Inc. (MSPI) installed a solar-powered STARBOOKS at Panaytayan Elementary School in Mansalay, Oriental Mindoro, on August 13, 2024.

A total of 330 elementary students and 12 teachers will benefit from the wide range of free science, technology, and innovation information resources in STARBOOKS.

Panaytayan ES also received a comprehensive user orientation and training on how to effectively utilize STARBOOKS.

Earlier, MSPI turned over two portable solar power stations and two laptop units to DOST-STII for deployment as a STARBOOKS server unit in two pre-selected IP schools in the province.

Mountain Support PH, Inc. provides human-centered solutions to socially vulnerable and off-grid mountainous communities.
