Harnessing the Unknown: Science, Society, and the Future

The 2025 National Science Month, called "Harnessing the Unknown," is all about how science and new ideas will shape our future. This theme makes us think about how closely science and society will work together in the years ahead. It's not just about finding new things, but about using those discoveries to make our lives better and solve big problems. For science to truly power our future, we need everyone-scientists, leaders, and everyday people – to work together, understand each other, and think about what's right.

As a student in a special science class, the theme "Harnessing the Unknown" really connects with what we do every day. Our class goes beyond just memorizing facts; we’re getting ready for a future that will be completely reshaped by things like AI and dvanced medical treatments.

All these new technologies bring up big questions. For instance, our basic electronic subject get us wondering about how automation will affect jobs. Because of our special science focus, we have a unique opportunity to not only understand these technologies but also to help guide them so they will benefit everyone.

In the next few decades, different types of science will combine to tackle big issues like climate change, global health, and running out of resources. At the same time, new scientific discoveries will always give us new ideas and challenges, so we'll all need to keep learning. Schools will need to teach kids to think creatively and understand science, preparing them for jobs we can't even imagine yet.

To truly "Harness the Unknown," science and society must be strong partners. This means scientists need to explain their work clearly, leaders need to make smart choices, and everyone needs to support science. As we discover more, our ability to work together, with respect, shared goals, and a sense of responsibility, will be key to building a future that's not just advanced, but fair, sustainable, and good for everyone.

A Glimpse Into My Life

Hello everyone, I'm Rio Gabrielle C. Pamani. I'm 14 years old, turning 15 on august 29. I'm from Pantay Tamurong, Caoayan, Ilocos Sur. I will talk about my interests, hobbies, and daily routine. What I believe in is to trust my guts because it guides me everyday. In our family, we are only four and I'm the eldest daughter. I was an only child for 13 years, but then my little sister was born. In the first few months it was hard for me to adjust, but then I did get used to it. During my free time I play piano, play guitar, watch k-dramas, and play with my little sister. I do help my family to do household chores sometimes, and when they are busy, I babysit my little sister. I love listening to music, i feel like i'm at peace whenever I listen to music. I also find peace when I'm alone. I'm interested in playing more instruments. I love spending time with my family and friends. Whenever I'm with my friends I always feel safe and I'm filled w...

Photo Blog: Coastal Clean-Up Drive

Coastal Clean-Up Drive Last week when we went to Chocosurf, I noticed that there was so much trash around the beach. This was caused by people throwing their trash around the beach. The Young Dreamers Club in our zone has decided to hold a clean-up drive here to help lessen the trash around the beach. So, I have volunteered to participate in the coastal clean-up drive. We picked up so much trash around the beach, such as plastic bottles, plastic bags, and many more. Every area had different types of trash. After picking up the trashes w e put it in the trash can. We have picked up so many trashes that it didn't fit in the garbage bag we bought. So the rest of it we put it in the garbage around the beach. I hope people will clean their area after eating in the beach and bring their own garbage bag to lessen the trashes and to keep the beach clean.

ICT Second Quarter Reflection

The second quarter was a time of big learning for me, especially about how to build things on the internet. The most important thing I discovered was how to correctly use the different kinds of tag attributes. I learned that these attributes are special extra instructions that you add inside a tag to make it change. They tell the tag what color to be, how big to be, or where to go on the page. Getting to know these special instructions has helped me take much better control of the web pages I am learning to make. It was a major step forward from just knowing the basic tags themselves. I did not have very many hard problems during this quarter. Everything went smoothly for the most part, but the toughest challenge I faced was having to put in the tag attributes—or encoding them—perfectly. The computer is very strict. If I missed even one tiny thing, like a quotation mark, a semicolon, or a single letter, the entire attribute would not work. This meant I had to sp...
