GEP-QSC showcases geodetic engineering through interactive photo booth
During the “My EU Story Begins” celebration at Manuel S. Enverga University Foundation, the Geodetic Engineers of the Philippines-Quezon Student Chapter set up an interactive photo booth to represent the organization and introduce participants to the instruments used in geodetic engineering through creative props and activities.
GEP-QSC designed the booth as both a fun and informative station for students, faculty and guests. Since the group could not bring actual field instruments to the venue, members created paper cutouts of essential surveying tools such as a total station, drone, RTK, tape measure and prism.
The organization also prepared playful horonos, or headbands, digitally edited to feature geodetic engineering instruments. Participants wore the props while taking photos, giving the booth a distinctive and personalized touch.
To make the experience more interactive, GEP-QSC placed a small whiteboard at the booth where visitors could write messages, greetings and personal expressions. The group also distributed stickers featuring the official logo and instrument-themed horono designs, which served as souvenirs and introduced participants to the organization’s identity.
The booth drew a large number of students, faculty and guests and became one of the more interactive stations during the celebration. It functioned as both an educational and recreational space, allowing participants to learn about geodetic engineering tools while enjoying a creative photo-taking experience.
The project also strengthened teamwork among GEP-QSC members, who worked together in designing, assembling and managing the booth. The stickers and headband props became popular keepsakes and helped extend awareness of the organization even after the event ended.
GEP-QSC members served as the primary beneficiaries of the project as they gained experience in collaboration, creativity and event management. The organization funded the activity with a total expense of ₱400.
The project reflected MSEUF’s commitment to student-centered and outcomes-oriented education by allowing students to turn classroom knowledge into a creative and meaningful public engagement activity. It also demonstrated the core values of Excellence, Unity and Service as GEP-QSC members worked together to promote their field and contribute to the celebration in an engaging way.
- SDG 4: Quality Education — The booth promoted learning by introducing participants to geodetic engineering tools and concepts in an accessible and interactive way.
- SDG 9: Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure — The activity highlighted instruments and technologies used in geodetic engineering, encouraging appreciation for innovation in technical fields.
- SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals — The project encouraged collaboration among student organization members and strengthened their connection with the wider university community.
