Students from the ASCOT School of Engineerin through the National Service Program 2-CWTS launched the “Rusty-to-Ready: A Bus-toration Project of the Engineering Community,” where they transformed an old, rusty bus into a lively, multi-functional hub.

It features interactive displays, audio-visual equipment, internet connectivity, and comfortable seating. This space will support creative and educational activities while offering a relaxing environment for socializing. Additionally, the project fosters community spirit and collective responsibility among students, promoting the spirit of Bayanihan.

The engineering students meticulously planned and executed the renovation of an old ASCOT bus during the first week of NSTP. They removed old seats, cleaned engineering facilities, and maintained classrooms. Supported by DPWH and ASCOT’s GSU, the bus transfer occurred near the college canteen for easy access. Electrical engineering students installed circuits, while others focused on site development. New concrete tables and chairs were added, complementing those relocated from a previous project. Insulation foams were installed for comfort, alongside a composite concrete post for shading the bus’s surroundings.

The “Rusty-to-Ready” project is a testament to the students’ creativity, teamwork, and commitment to making a positive impact on their community. It also aligned with UN SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities.
