In the fast-paced, ever-evolving world of technology, embracing ICT (information and communication technology) has become not just a choice but a necessity. As part of the grand celebration of ICT Week at Colegio de San Juan de Letrán, a remarkable event unfolded on October 18, 2023. The theme, "Navigating the Digital Era: Embracing ICT for Future Innovations, Connectivity, Exploring Trends, and Societal Shifts," came to life in Computer Laboratory 3 within the Senior High School Department at 9:00 a.m. till 3:00 p.m.

Under the guidance of Mr. Jerry Escultura, the Digital Communications Technology Coordinator, this event was a vision that ignited a passion for digital artistry among the student body, encouraging them to explore and create in the realm of visual graphic design. The contest was open to participants in different strands hailing from Grade 11 and Grade 12.

On October 18, 2023, the contestants had the opportunity to showcase their talents and creative flair as they competed in real-time graphic design challenges. With the clock ticking, they crafted visual masterpieces that conveyed their perspectives on the digital era, innovation, connectivity, and societal shifts.

The real excitement, however, didn't end there. The winners of this high-stakes contest were revealed during the grand culminating activity on October 20, 2023, at the illustrious St. Thomas Hall. It was a moment filled with anticipation as the Letran community gathered to recognize and applaud the design virtuosos who'd risen to the occasion.

This on-the-spot visual graphic design contest was more than just a competition; it was a celebration of creativity, innovation, and the power of ICT. It was Letran's way of nurturing the digital pioneers of tomorrow and exploring the boundless possibilities of the digital era. It was a testament to Letran's commitment to not just keeping pace with change but also setting the pace for future innovations.

As ICT Week unfolded, the spotlight was on the students of Letran, their creativity, and their unwavering commitment to embracing the digital future. It was a journey where the digital canvas became a realm of possibilities, and every stroke of the mouse or tap on the keyboard paved the way towards a brighter, more connected future.
