Welcome to Science Castle Philippines 2026!
Science Castle is a pioneering platform that empowers high school students to present their research and innovative ideas. Launched in Osaka, Japan, in 2012, it has since expanded across Asia—including Singapore, Malaysia, and the Philippines.
At its core, Science Castle focuses on Science and Technology aiming to nurse young minds to address real-world challenges through research and problem-solving.
In 2025, Leave a Nest introduced the Science Castle Series, a regional initiative that connects student researchers across Asia. This series reaffirms Leave a Nest's commitment to fostering a strong community of young researchers who can collaborate, grow, and lead in solving both local and global issues.
In 2026, Science Castle returns to the Philippines as a vibrant, multidisciplinary research exhibition for high school students. This year's program will highlight Research Presentations, Knowledge Sharing, Collaboration, and Partner Sessions—bringing together students, educators, industry professionals, as well as government and academic leaders.
The program will also feature a Teacher Session, focused on educational best practices and collaborative discussions. The conference will culminate with a Recognition of Research, celebrating outstanding student achievements.
Science Castle Philippines 2026 continues to bridge the gap between science and society, empowering the next generation of researchers to shape a better future.
