The competition aims to test and unlock the creative potential of the existing Free Senior High School (SHS) program participants.

In senior high technical schools (SHTS), technical & vocational education & training (TVET) facilities, and senior high schools all over the nation, it will apply to free-SHS beneficiaries.

The participating schools will be given the first job of its kind at the second-cycle level of education in the nation: use local materials to create a STEM project.

The initiative must be capable of resolving a specific issue in their local communities.

Additionally, the project must focus on at least one of the following topics: solar energy for sustainable socio-economic development, recycling for sustainable socio-economic development, and coding and programming for sustainable socio-economic development.
