AIMING to empower students with essential IT skills, particularly in robotics and coding, the Valenzuela City government, in collaboration with TechnoKids PH, has launched a Techno Camp and Techno Laboratory.

Mayor Weslie “Wes” Gatchalian emphasized the program’s importance, highlighting the need for its sustainability to benefit future generations.

“I hope na, alam n’yo po, madali po naman mag-launch ng ganitong programa, madali lang po humanap ng budget para bayaran po ang mga ganitong programa. Pero ang importante po ay ang sustainability, hindi masayang itong napakagandang programang,” he stated.

He urged principals and teachers to monitor the program’s success, assuring them of ongoing support.

“Kaya po, ang challenge na yan ay iiwan po natin sa ating mga punong guro at guro na sana kayo na po ang tumutok po sa pag-monitor ng success nitong programa at syempre po, itinalagan natin si Konsehal Cris Feliciano na kung ano man ang kailangan nyo in my end, in the Mayor’s Office, makakaasa po kayo na susuportahan po natin yan,” Gatchalian said.

Since 2002, TechnoKids PH has been a leading computer service provider, specializing in delivering comprehensive computer curricula to schools to equip students with essential computing skills.

The mayor also inaugurated the Valenzuela Techno Camp Laboratory at Malinta Elementary School, with two rooms equipped with computers for students’ use, enhancing their learning experience.

This initiative builds on the success of Valenzuela’s first Techno Camp, launched in July 2023 in collaboration with the Department of Information and Communications Technology and Nullspace PH.
