The Enthralling Odyssey of Science and Math Exhibits.

Picture this: You’re standing in the middle of Saint Charles Academy’s 55 th founding anniversary,
surrounded by electrifying energy and excitement. What’s got everyone so hyped up, you ask? It’s the
ultimate display of intellect and innovation – a yearly spectacle that sets the bar high for all other
events. Get ready to be blown away as the eleventh-grade sections, Saint Padre Pio, Saint Luke, Saint
Gabriel, and Saint Jude, go head-to-head in a thrilling showcase of science and math exhibits. This
event is like no other, filled with jaw-dropping wonders, exhilarating mini-games, and endless
entertainment for all students. Don’t miss out on the chance to be a part of this unforgettable
experience. Join me as we explore these exhibits that are packed with fun, and will leave you not only
entertained but knowledgeable as well.

As soon as I entered the lobby, I was greeted by a group of enthusiastic 11 th-grade students, and a long
line of eager students waiting for their turn at the registration place. The excitement is palpable! But
even though it’s a long line, don’t worry – the grade 11 representatives are doing an amazing job of
managing the crowd. They’re making sure nobody cuts in line and that everyone gets a chance to
experience the thrill of the moment.

Ascending the stairs towards the exhibit halls, you’ll find yourself surrounded by a vibrant display of
comic strip posters that will have you feeling like you’ve been whisked away to a different world. But
the real magic begins when you enter the exhibit halls – time seems to stand still as you explore the
captivating displays.

Be prepared to be blown away by Saint Padre Pio’s “The Matrix” math-centered exhibit, which greets
you with a dazzling array of integers, multiplication tables, and other fascinating outputs. You’ll also
come across handmade buildings, a gigantic cardboard and cartolina clock, and so much more! But
that’s not all – the exhibit also boasts some incredibly entertaining features. Take a snap with Pikachu
at the photo booth or get your face painted in the spirit of the exhibit. Browse through the stalls that
sell stickers, hair clips, and other cool merchandise, or challenge yourself with one of the many games
available. From the drop ball to the Tower of Hanoi, the mathematician puzzle, and the electric game
that lights up when you accidentally hit the sides of the wire – there’s something for everyone here!

Get ready to blast off into an incredible journey to outer space with Saint Luke’s “GaLUKExy’s
Embrace” exhibit! Immerse yourself in a pitch-black setting and marvel at the celestial beauty of
different constellations and stars intertwined in the ceiling. But that’s not all – you can also enjoy
exciting activities like Bang Bang the Planets, Tarot Reading, Fear Pong, and Electric Connect. And
let me tell you, the Tarot Reading is an absolute hoot! With famous memes on the cards, you are sure
to laugh and laugh. Need a souvenir? Check out the cute bracelets on sale that you can treat yourself
with or give to your friends.

Now, let’s move on to Saint Gabriel’s “Anakalypto Exhibit” – a geological wonderland that will leave
you in awe! Explore a cave-inspired setting with lots of minerals and learn all about the fascinating
rock cycles and the uses of different minerals like gold, silver, and copper. Don’t miss the stunning
terrariums that the eleventh graders have taken care of for more than a month! But wait, there’s more
– have a blast playing games like Shoot the Paper Plane, Tumbang Preso, Mystery Box, Wishing Well,
Shake It Off (Water Dance edition), and Raise the Bottle. I tried the mystery box, and it was an
absolute thrill! The eleventh graders were even kind enough to offer tips to help me win.

Last but not least, get ready to experience the magic of math Jude with Saint Jude’s “Salamanca”
exhibit that will leave you spellbound! Step into a carnival-themed exhibit and marvel at the
information section, complete with posters, quotes, and pictures of our beloved mathematicians. Get
your game on with “Iputok Mo Beybeh”, “Ishoot Mo Darling”, and Ring and Toss. And don’t forget
to snap a photo at the Instagram-worthy spot featuring a big ellipse shape and a hologram that’s like a
3d illusion of a butterfly – the perfect spot for a free photoshoot! Feeling hungry? No problem – check
out the food area that offers mix and match, featuring a variety of foods like tuna crackers. You won’t
want to miss this incredible exhibit!
