About Us
Group 4 STEM D Researchers
We are a group of Grade 12 STEM D students in Christian Ecclesiastical School, in the School Year 2023-2024. We conducted the Capstone Research entitled "Revolutionizing Mosquito Control: UV attraction, Vacuum Capture, and Natural Repellents from Lemongrass and Garlic"
This website is for academic purposes only. We are conducting this in partial completion of the Empowerment Technologies subject.
