Science Castle Grant 2025 Lockheed Martin Award (Philippines only)


Why do planes fly the way they do? What happens when technology and nature work together to design the future of flight? Can we build aircraft inspired by birds? Satellites that protect Earth? Can we make aviation safer, smarter, and more sustainable for everyone?

 

How do the tools we invent  for space, the sky, or our communities affect how we live? What will it take to solve the world’s most complex challenges using science, creativity, and the courage to explore?

 

Leave a Nest Philippines invites young researchers from junior to senior high schools across the country to imagine boldly and take action through the Science Castle Grant 2025 in the Philippines.

 

Together, let’s explore solutions that reimagine flight, connect technology with nature, and design for a better future  not just for us, but for generations to come.

 

Selected teams will receive a research grant and undergo a 3-month journey of exploration, supported by mentors from Leave a Nest and Lockheed Martin. Final results will be presented at Science Castle Philippines 2026, a national research conference that celebrates the ideas and discoveries of the next generation of changemakers.
