Jubilee Places First in InCEthink 2014

On September 6, 2014, two Jubilean teams attended the recent InCEthink bridge building competition held in NISMED, UP Diliman and brought home three awards. The school’s Team Two, consists of Jason Matthew D. Uy, Sam Gamaliel T. Sy and Jeremiah Cedric A. Tomas, from 10 – Solomon, bagged the Voter’s Choice Award while Jubilee’s Team One, composed of Ezekiel O. Young, Timothy T. Sitosta and Darvin Ryan Y. Chua, also from 10 – Solomon, placed first among 40 teams where 20 schools were represented. The Jubilee’s Team One also received the Best Design award.

The winning bridge weighed 157 grams and carried 40.25 kg during the contest. Having a total score of 92, the team out performed all other bridges by a large margin. The Voter’s Choice award was given to the bridge that attained the most votes from the coaches of each team.

The contest mechanics required a team of three students to create within three hours a bridge with a span of 50 cm and length and width of 10 to 15 cm using barbeque sticks. The students thus showed their ability to apply concepts in Physics to real life situations in such contests.

Mr. Neil Silao, the teams’ coach, left an advice for the future contestants, “Work is distributed and task becomes easy when there is teamwork. Teamwork makes the dream work.”

Congratulations to the winners and to God be the glory!
