Science Castle Grant 2026 Lockheed Martin Award (Philippines)

Science Castle Grant 2026 Lockheed Martin Award (Philippines)
Science begins with curiosity. Every question we ask about our world, our skies, our oceans, or even outer space can become the starting point for discovery and innovation. What kind of future can young researchers create when science meets imagination? How can technology help communities live more sustainably, safely, and creatively? What ideas today could transform the world tomorrow? Leave a Nest Philippines invites young researchers from junior and senior high schools across the country to take the next step in their research journey through Science Castle Grant 2026, a program designed to empower young minds to explore bold ideas and innovative solutions. This program supports students who are ready to challenge existing knowledge and develop solutions inspired by science and technology. Selected teams will receive a research grant and undergo a 5-month journey of exploration, supported by mentors from Leave a Nest and Lockheed Martin. Final results will be presented at Science Castle Philippines 2027 , a national research conference that celebrates the ideas and discoveries of the next generation of change-makers.
