AI-POWERED DIGITAL SKILLS OF PUBLIC SERVANTS IN SOUTHERN LEYTE!

Amid the country's rapid digital transformation, slow processes and lack of AI and digital skills in government pose challenges.

In response to President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.'s order to strengthen the capability of government employees in using innovative technology, the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) Southern Leyte Provincial Office conducted “Basic AI Tools: Gemini-Powered Workspace Training” at Tech4ED Digital Transformation Center - Maasin For the personnel of TESDA Southern Leyte.

In the hands-on training conducted, participants enhanced their knowledge on Artificial Intelligence and practical AI tools that can help accelerate administrative workflows and improve public service delivery.

Day 2 DONE and the car robots are RUNNING!⁣
⁣
On May 20, 2026, our Robotics 101 Training came alive as teens aged 13–21 got their hands dirty — literally assembling, wiring, and programming their very own Code:bit Car Robots from scratch! 🚗⁣
⁣
From writing their first lines of code in MakeCode, to watching their car dodge obstacles and follow a black line on its own — every moment was pure hands-on learning at its finest.
⁣
These young minds didn't just learn about robotics. They BECAME robotics builders. ⁣
