Academic Contests: Where Ideas Compete and Talents Shine
Six times a year, the focus shifts from the field to the forum. Our curated Academic Contests are designed to uncover and celebrate every type of intelligence, giving members a platform to showcase their unique strengths.
Essay & Poetry Contests: These events harness the power of words, encouraging youth to articulate their perspectives, stories, and dreams with clarity and creativity.
Science Project Fair: Budding inventors and researchers get their moment. This hands-on contest challenges participants to ask questions, hypothesize, and demonstrate scientific principles, fostering a love for inquiry and problem-solving.
Arts Competition: From painting and drawing to digital design, this contest celebrates visual expression and artistic skill, allowing creativity to flow beyond the canvas.
Bridge Building Challenge: A test of physics, engineering, and ingenuity. Using specified materials, participants design and construct the strongest or most efficient bridge, learning applied mathematics and structural engineering basics.
Video Production Festival: For the modern storyteller. This contest teaches narrative planning, filming, and editing, empowering youth to create compelling short films or documentaries on topics they care about.
These contests are more than just competitions; they are resume-building experiences that teach critical thinking, project management, and presentation skills valued by universities.

Technology Clubs: Building the Future, Today
To prepare youth for tomorrow’s world, our Technology Clubs make cutting-edge fields accessible and exciting.
Jr. Technology Club (Ages 8-12): An introduction to the fundamentals. Through playful, hands-on projects, younger members explore basic coding concepts, simple robotics kits, and the ethical use of technology in a safe, supervised environment.

They build and program advanced Robotics projects. They explore 3D modeling, web development, and app creation, gaining tangible skills that position them at the forefront of innovation.
A Stage for Every Star: Talent Shows & Scholar Development
Complementing our six academic contests are six annual talent shows, ensuring every child has a moment in the spotlight. Whether it’s singing, dance, magic, instrumentals, or comedy, we celebrate the diverse performing arts talents within our community.
This holistic approach—sports, academics, tech, and arts—is intentional. Cambanac Councilwoman and Bohol Coconuts General Manager Lerma Moore states, “Our goal is to challenge every child to be the best possible version of themselves. That means providing a stage for their academic and artistic talents with the same energy and pride we devote to our athletic programs.
“We are building a pathway to opportunity. By showcasing their well-rounded accomplishments—from science fair medals to pitching stats—our youth will build compelling stories for scholarship committees.”
