๐ Building the Next Generation of AI, Blockchain, and Software Innovators in Davao
We are proud to share the successful completion of the Rust Development, Blockchain, and Product Innovation Training Program for the students of City College of Davao.
City College of Davao continues to play a vital role in providing accessible, quality education to Davaoeรฑos while preparing students to become future-ready professionals capable of contributing to the cityโs growing digital economy.
Throughout the program, students were immersed in practical, industry-relevant skills including:
โ
Rust Programming
โ
React TypeScript Development
โ
Blockchain Fundamentals and Development
โ
AI-Assisted Product Building
โ
Startup and Innovation Mindset
โ
Pitch Deck Creation
โ
Presentation and Communication Skills
Our goal was not simply to teach programming languages and technologies. We aimed to help students become solution builders, individuals who can identify real community challenges, think critically about problems, and develop technology-driven solutions that create meaningful impact.
Special thanks to our very own Developer Relations team, Dangrey Concepcion and Gigi Valdez, for mentoring and guiding the students throughout the program. Their focus on developing strong process thinkers, builders, and innovators helped participants move beyond coding and into product thinking, systems thinking, and responsible AI adoption.
Students learned how to transform ideas into working solutions, communicate their vision effectively, and prepare themselves for hackathons, startup competitions, internships, and future career opportunities in the technology industry.
This initiative was made possible through the support and leadership of the City Information Technology Center Office (CITC) - City Government of Davao, whose commitment to digital transformation and technology education continues to create opportunities for the next generation of innovators.
Together, we are building a stronger ecosystem of developers, builders, entrepreneurs, and changemakers who will help shape the future of Davao and the Philippines.
Congratulations to all participants. This is only the beginning.
