Competing against the best schools in Southern Luzon, the National Capital Region, and nearby regions, Rainbow Institute of Learning, Inc. (RILI) landed in the top 10 among 54 contestants in the Inter-Elementary SciSpell contest, Oct. 22, at the University of the Philippines Rural High School (UPRHS) in Los Baños, Laguna during the UPRHS Science-Math Fair and Exhibits 2012.

Grade 6 student Marcus Adrian Balinas' score was one of the 10 highest which made him qualify for the semifinals. Contestants spelled words related to General Science, Basic Biology, Introductory Chemistry, Elementary Physics, Earth Science, and Environmental Science. Rovie Mae Dasmariñas (Grade 6) and Jacob Nathanielz Payag (Grade 5) also joined the competition but did not reach the semifinals.

RILI also participated in the Inter-Elementary Poster Making Contest. The school was represented by Hannah Pauline Abela (Grade 5) and Karell Anne Laluz (Grade 6).

Members of the Young Newtons Club (YNC) and other students from RILI also attended the fair. Students viewed various set-ups and displays related to mathematics and science.

Mr. Ronaldo Morales and Mrs. Jeroline Ocampo, RILI science teachers, attended a seminar for teachers which were also part of the fair. The seminar, entitled "i-Gen: Students of the Information Age", tackled various advances in information technology available for students and teachers today. Other RILI teachers present in the fair were Mr. Robby Torres, Mrs. Clarissa Almanza, and Mrs. Jennifer Alcantara.

The UPRHS Science-Math Fair and Exhibits is an event organized by the AlGeoTriCS Club and  the Delta Theta Epsilon Science Society, the official mathematics club and science club of UPRHS, respectively. This year's theme is "Making Progress through Information Management and Scientific Innovations".
