Aside from the students who are the target beneficiaries of this activity, the 3-day event is composed of series of trainings to be conducted by Ms. Chriza Mae U. Davin, Ms. Eleisha Kyle Ligad, and Mr. Tomas Paolo V. Butiong, representatives from DICT, with the assistance of the faculty from the DORSU-BSIT Program.

Lasco, and the laboratory in-charge, Mr. Marjohn Laguidong.

The team is looking forward that the next two (2) days of the training will go on smoothly as several activities are currently being prepared to create a meaningful experience to the younger generation of Macambol and Sitio Catmonan on its intent to further enhance the digital literacy of the so-called “millenials”. https://3c5.com/OzOzB
