Innovation and competition took the spotlight on the third day of โAggies Fest 2K26: Rise of the Huntersโ as student creators showcased technology-driven solutions while athletes battled for championship glory on September 24 at the Davao de Oro State College Main Campus.
At the Audio-Visual Room, student innovators presented their entries for the Technology Business Pitching Competition under the Food and Non-food Categories, transforming scientific concepts into practical solutions with potential applications in agriculture, food production, and sustainability.
The Food Technology category featured student-developed products designed to maximize agricultural resources and reduce waste, among the highlighted innovations were the Brassica Almond Dehydrated Cabbage Cookie, a value-added product utilizing cabbage; Flan de Pugo, which repurposes aesthetically rejected fresh quail eggs; and Hymenopteran Rambutan Coffee, a coffee innovation produced through solar dehydration to promote sustainable processing practices.
Running alongside the food presentations, the Non-food Technology category displayed alternative innovations aimed at addressing agricultural and environmental challenges. The featured projects included a liquid agricultural input fermented from invasive golden apple snail eggs, wood vinegar formulated for natural pest management and soil enhancement, and the Hymenopterans Mulching Hole Maker, a tool designed to improve planting efficiency through faster and more consistent spacing.
Meanwhile, beyond the exhibits, the energy shifted to the playing grounds as students filled the stands to support their respective teams in the much-awaited championship matches.
The Lepidopterans secured the basketball championship title after an intense battle, while the official results for the volleyball and Sepak Takraw competitions remain pending.
Adding to the festival atmosphere, students also gathered at the campus grounds for traditional Larong Lahi competitions, including the sack race, basketball sa bukag, and Chinese garter. These activities showcased not only athletic ability but also camaraderie and appreciation for Filipino cultural games, with official winners yet to be announced.
