Cavite State University (CvSU)–Carmona Campus, through the Extension Services Office and Department of Industrial and Information Technology in collaboration with the Information Technology Elite Confederacy, successfully conducted “SecureBuild Training on Practical Computer Assembly Safety and Maintenance” on March 27, 2026 at CvSU-Carmona. The activity aimed to enhance participants’ technical competencies in computer hardware, proper handling practices, and preventive maintenance through a structured combination of lectures and hands-on workshops.

The program commenced with the audio-visual presentation for the opening prayer. The activity formally began with opening remarks and an overview of the training objectives and house rules delivered by Ms. Janine B. Bacosmo, leader of CvSUCCESS extension program and campus extension services coordinator, who emphasized the importance of technical literacy and safety in handling computer systems. A pre-assessment was then administered by faculty and student extensionists to evaluate the participants’ baseline knowledge.

The morning session featured foundational topics led by Mr. Jhumel C. Ignas, leader of TO-SERVE Project. Discussions included understanding computer system components and essential safety and handling practices, providing participants with the theoretical grounding necessary for practical application. This was followed by the initial phase of computer assembly and disassembly, ensuring that participants understood both the preparatory and technical aspects of the process.

In the afternoon, the training shifted to more intensive practical engagement. Mr. Beinard Ariel Reginaldo, student extensionist, facilitated the continuation of computer assembly and disassembly, allowing participants to directly apply what they had learned. A hands-on workshop followed, where participants demonstrated proper assembly techniques under guided supervision. The session on preventive maintenance techniques further reinforced best practices in maintaining computer systems, accompanied by another hands-on activity to solidify learning outcomes.

Post-assessment and evaluation were also conducted. During the post-assessment, participants were grouped and tasked to assemble and subsequently disassemble an assigned computer unit. Time was taken into consideration, and incentives were awarded to the group that completed the task the fastest while maintaining accuracy and proper procedures.

The program concluded with the awarding of certificates facilitated by the moderator, Ms. Jackelyn R. Murallon, faculty extensionist, followed by closing remarks from Ms. Bacosmo, who emphasized the importance of continuous learning in the field of technology and extended an invitation to participants for the upcoming training. The activity ended with a photo opportunity.
