Project Utopia is an extension program of Don Honorio Ventura State University Laboratory High School proposed last December 10, 2019. It aims to create wellness among communities through livelihood, literacy, sports and environment awareness, catering to various beneficiaries (students, out-of-school youth, households and leaders). The project was materialized based on the conducted needs assessment in the locale. It has been found out with zones that are declared to be indigent. Data gathered reported that most housewives do not have their source of income and are dependent to their husband as their provider. There are zones that are the declared to be indigent. This is the main reason so that these trainings are being proposed. Focusing on the priority zone, the project will focus first on one zone after the other. Through the requested activities, such as livelihood training on Dressmaking and Cosmetology will be conducted.

The study consists of development of a photovoltaic system of a remote which can be controlled and monitored using a Graphical User Interface (GUI). This paper proposes a wireless monitoring and controlling device which can monitor and control the solar powered LED (Light-emmiting Diode) lights of Guagua Community College from a remote area located at the Guagua Municipal Hall. The proposed remote-control system can optimize management and efficiency of a building’s lighting systems. It uses an interface to display the information about the current states of the LED lamps. The commands from the interface will be transmitted to the receiver of the remote building using RF transceivers. The remote building has its own transceiver to transmit the information about lamps and will be displayed at the GUI. The system uses a double-pole double-throw (DPDT) switch to switch the system from solar energy to the AC (Alternating Current) main line in case of low battery condition.

Television (CCTV) project is to expand the means of monitoring and heighten the security using strategic design of the system within the vicinity and inside the Municipal Hall of Sasmuan, which is the urbanized core of the town. 

This study focused on monitoring the first floor, specifically the hallway and entrance of the building. The system includes IP cameras which can be accessed using Internet connection and Eagle Eyes application for smart phones with IOS and Android platforms. The PIR sensor is used to detect presence of possible intruder after office hours and non-working days.  The project is incorporated with back-up power source using Deep Cycle batteries for 24 hours of continual monitoring in case of a power outage.

Health curriculum aims to situate the learner to be able to achieve, sustain and promote lifelong health and wellness. Grade 4-6 key stage standard situates the learner to “demonstrate understanding of how changes as s/he grows and develops impact on healthy practices to help achieve and sustain the desired level of health.” As such, one major consideration in implementing the curricula is to also provide a meaningful learning experience including those from the indigenous peoples. With the end view of  promoting proper personal and environmental hygiene as promoted by Department of Education’s initiative on its health education curriculum.

The Republic Act no.  10533, known as the Enhanced Basic Education Act of 2013 firmly promotes a culture-responsive, culture-sensitive, integrative, contextualized, relevant and responsive curriculum since its initial take-off in 2013. The Modern Indigent Learning Experience (MILE) Program is also based on the Health Curriculum and the Enhanced Basic Education Act of 2013 as well since the program has its long term goal; to achieve, sustain and promote lifelong health and wellness. Further, the program has its signature approach which is culture-responsive, culture-sensitive, integrative, contextualized, relevant and responsive curriculum that covers in RA 100533.

        The Department of Education (DepED) issued Order No. 10 in 2016, Water Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH). This advocates correct hygiene and sanitation practices among school children and promotes an environment conducive to learning to keep learners safe and healthy. The comprehensive WASH in Schools (WinS) Program which was stipulated in the order includes availability of safe drinking water on a daily basis, safe water for cleaning the school; adequate, clean, and functional toilets; supervised daily group hand-washing with soap and washing of teeth with fluoride toothpaste among learners; environmental sanitation; semi-annual de-worming of schoolchildren; safe practices in food handling and preparation; and effective menstrual hygiene management. The WinS three-star approach implement school-based management as a pathway for schools and stakeholders to take local action towards improving and sustaining WASH services gradually. These approach give the capacity to schools to identify their own needs; effectively introduce solutions; manage and sustain WinS; enhance stakeholders’ involvement; and mobilize local resources. The above mentioned DepEd issued order and programs relative to hygiene and sanitation are also covered by the proposed MILE program.

The Modern Indigent Learning Experience (MILE) Program is a research-based program aims to provide an up-to-the-minute involvement in learning process of the indigent (aeta) people in the community using the sophisticated system tool known as MILES.

Reversible Motion Gear of a Swing Set for Generator addresses harnessing and converting unused mechanical energy into useful electrical power. This study entails the design and construction of the swing set for generator to provide electrical power from mechanical energy and will be stored into a battery acting as the secondary source. It will supply CCTV if there is a restriction with the availability of electricity.

Human powered swing generator is a way to conserve energy to produce electricity. This study entails to introduce the use of gear mechanism of the swing to generate electricity. A swing set generator can be installed in a playground. A child playing produces kinetic energy, from then this energy can be transformed to useful electrical energy. The study aims to determine the adequate gear mechanism which can convert rotational energy to electrical energy in forward and reverse direction of the swing set, thus stores in a battery and will act as the secondary source of the CCTV in Sta. Lucia Elementary School in Sta, Ana Pampanga if there is a restriction with the availability of electricity in the said locale.

A renewable source of energy through the use of whirlpool turbine that can charge deep cycle battery which can be utilize as a source of electricity. A deficit of electricity supply may lead to higher electrical bill that will affect both private and public consumers in the country. To keep a lower cost of electricity, the forms of electrical power must be sustainable, sufficient and clean in order to protect the environment for the benefit of the future generations. In support of this aim, harvesting energy in different forms such as solar, wind, geothermal and bio thermal has been concentrated due to the demand of people.
