MANILA, Philippines - Letran SHS Manila  Department - STEM Area, together with Casio Philippines, successfully held its workshop entitled, “CALCULATING SUCCESS: With an exciting showcase of technical prowess and creative finesse, selected ICT students at ICT Week 2023 demonstrated their website design skills. The event, held on October 17, 2023, in Computer Laboratory 3 at the SHS building, aimed to celebrate the artistic talents of these tech enthusiasts as well as provide a method for knowledge expansion.

Using Figma, a cutting-edge no-code design tool, these students had the chance to exhibit their creativity and technical acumen. Figma's unique features enable cost-effective and collaborative website design, even with offline capabilities, through desktop applications for macOS and Windows. Guided by the experienced Mr. Jorell Melejor, a dedicated ICT faculty member, the selected students have shown skills in creating their own websites.

"In order to test the skills of the students in terms of website design, we are training them to be equipped with the modern industry's standards and techniques,” Mr. Jorell Melejor remarked.

This event provided a venue to assess these gifted students' abilities as well as a chance for them to improve and broaden their knowledge. This experience is particularly invaluable for the freshmen, as it grants them an academic edge and equips them with skills that will undoubtedly benefit their future careers.

Sir Melejor added, “We are expecting them, especially the ICT 11 students, to participate in the contest so that they will have a significant academic advantage that will be helpful to them in their Grade 12 year here at Letran.”

The theme of ICT Week 2023, "Navigating the Digital Era: Embracing ICT for Future Innovations, Connectivity, Exploring Trends, and Societal Shifts," provides a golden opportunity for ICT students to gain valuable insights into the future of technology. This event not only fosters an atmosphere of knowledge-sharing but also paves the way for future innovations and progress in the field. It allows teachers to impart their wisdom and experiences to the next generation of ICT professionals, ensuring that the future remains as bright as ever.
