Three fifteen-year old students of Philippine Science High School - SOCCSKSARGEN Region Campus, Rhoanne Gale Bermudo, Kristen Pauline Gador, and Jonyle Suriaga competed in an international science competition in Malaysia as one of the two teams representing the Philippines in the 7th ASEAN+3 Junior Science Odyssey (APTJSO). 

APTJSO is an annual competition for scientifically gifted students aged 13-15 years old. It was participated by 19 teams from the ASEAN member, and allied countries. 

This year’s 5-day competition, with the theme Science, Technology, and Innovation for Societal Health and Well-being, was composed of three main modules namely Great Science Ideas, Great Science Quest, and Great Science Pitch. 

In the first module, Great Science Ideas, each team was given a unique topic at least a month before the actual contest. The team was asked to prepare a 3-minute video, and a poster about the topic Improving the Accessibility of the Differently-abled Community by Redesigning Public Infrastructure.  The team’s idea was to develop a one-stop mobile application called the Disability-Friendly Infrastructure or the Di-FI. The app caters to almost all types of disabilities, with features such as indoor navigation system, sign language-to-text/speech converter, emergency assistance that calls the aid of nearest volunteers, traffic light control mechanism for easier crossing of pedestrian lanes, hazard prompts, and on-line priority system for Di-FI Ready establishments.
