From the first research question to Title Defense, Proposal Defense, Final Defense, and the Research Colloquium, the Grade 12 Archimedes researchers turned challenges into achievements. The stress of managing manuscripts and respondents, countless revisions, and last-minute cramming—all of it—has paid off.

Special thanks to our research adviser, Sir Janrie Agam, whose guidance, encouragement, and words of wisdom carried us through every challenge and inspired us to give our very best.

What began as a simple idea evolved into a journey defined by resilience, growth, and achievement. From Title Defense, Proposal Defense, and Final Defense to the Capstone/Research Exhibit, the Grade 12 Archimedes researchers have successfully brought their work to completion.

Special thanks to our capstone adviser, Sir Reuben John Abalayan, who stood by us through the chaos, witnessed our teamwork, and patiently guided us through countless late-night questions and challenges.

Behind every output is a story of persistence—sleepless nights, constant revisions, and trial and error turned into final results. It reflects collaboration and the courage to push beyond limits. Each group’s hard work and dedication have truly paid off.

At the end of the day, each of us achieved something meaningful: completing the project itself. In just two months, we gave our all, poured our efforts into every detail, and turned ideas into reality. That alone is a victory we proudly share.

With this chapter coming to a close, Archimedes once again leaves its mark—proving that excellence is not only achieved but continuously upheld.

Excellence rises once again as Grade 12 Archimedes researchers secured the Best in Research Project in STEM with their study titled “Spatial Visualization Skills and Knowledge on Computer-Aided Design among Engineering Students.”

Through determination, collaboration, and relentless pursuit of knowledge, the team delivered a research presentation that embodied the true spirit of an Archillian: driven, innovative, and committed to academic excellence.

This milestone was achieved by 𝗬𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗮𝗵 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗲 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗺𝗲𝗹 𝗔. 𝗔𝗿𝗰𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗹, 𝗭𝗶𝗴𝗿𝗶𝗱 𝗔𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗹𝗲𝘂𝘀 𝗚. 𝗗𝗮𝗱𝗶𝘃𝗮𝘀, 𝗚𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗘𝗱 𝗖. 𝗚𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗱𝗼, 𝗝𝗼𝗵𝗻 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗹𝗼 𝗘. 𝗟𝗮𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗲, 𝗥𝗲𝘆𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗚. 𝗟𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗲𝘇, 𝗝𝗶𝗹𝘆𝗸𝗮 𝗥. 𝗣𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗴𝗮𝗹𝗲𝘇𝗮, 𝗧𝗲𝗿𝗴𝗲 𝗖.

Guiding the team in this remarkable journey was their research adviser, Sir Janrie A. Agam, whose mentorship and support helped shape this achievement.

Another proud moment for Archimedes.
