Week 4, STI College Zamboanga Computing Fest 2014

Last week was a very busy and tough week because of the preparations for the 3 day event at STI College Zamboanga also called the COMPUTING FEST 2014 with the Theme: "ICT Impact: Connecting Communities with Holistically-equipped Competence in English Communication towards the ASEAN Globalization".

It is organized by Philippine Society of Information Technology Students - STI Zamboanga Chapter, Functional English Language Organization and our very own department, COMPUTING DEPARTMENT, but before the day of the event we had first the General Assembly, the goal of this is to let the students know what to do during the event and what are the different activities and seminars that will be happening during the Computing Fest 2014 on December 3, 4 and 5, 2014.

The day of the Computing Fest, I'm one of the speaker on the said event, My topic is about, Computer Ethics on the day 1 and Technical Writing on the day 2. I was nervous but it was a nice and awesome experience because of the participants who listened and make them admire at me.

In this photo, I talked about the STI Brand after I discussed about the Computer Ethics. As an STIers they should know what are the Do's and Dont's when they're bringing the STI Official Logo. My participants was amazed because me as a speaker I feel confident in discussing the STI Brand. Kudos! to my mentors on this STI Branding. P.S. I am a 2013 STI Brand Awardee.

As usual, there's always be a photo-off after every session. They are my Computer Ethics Participants. I felt so tired but seeing them they've enjoyed the entire sessions makes me feel enjoy and satisfied. Before we start this session I asked them "What are your expectations During the Entire Session" (to make it more enjoyable, LEVELING OF EXPECTATIONS Activity - Feel Free to Post it on Freedom Wall).

During the Awarding ceremony, the 4th Year CSIT Students are aiming for the TERABYTES CLASS or the Overall Champion, but Unfortunately, The VERSION 42.1 or the CSIT - 421, was the OVERALL CHAMPION of the 1st ever COMPUTING FEST. We didn't expect that our section will be awarded as the TERABYTE CLASS but we desired to hit that awards to make our adviser Mrs. Mary Gaile B. Luis proud of us.

The Computing Fest 2014 was the best I guess event for our department the COMPUTING DEPARTMENT. KUDOS TO THE VERSION 42.1 BATCH 2014 - 2015.
