TechFest 2026: A Student-Led Experience of Collaboration, Challenges, and Growth As a graduating Computer Science student, I have experienced different academic activities throughout college, but TechFest 2026 felt different. It was not just a normal classroom requirement or a simple school activity. It was a large collaborative event organized by the students of the College of Computer Studies , where everyone contributed to creating a fun, technical, and engaging experience for the community. The event featured different activities such as games, booths, programming challenges, hackathon activities, decoding challenges, and E-Games . Each group had its own responsibility, and every activity added something unique to the overall experience of TechFest. I was part of the E-Games organization , where our group handled the Mobile Legends Tournament . Although that was our specific assignment, the bigger experience for me was being part of TechFest as a whole and seeing how different ...

From Preparation to Participation: Our Experience Leading a Project Management Seminar

Image
From Preparation to Participation: Our Experience Leading a Project Management Seminar As a graduating Computer Science student, I have learned that building a system is not just about writing code. There are deadlines to meet, teammates to coordinate with, tasks to divide, problems to solve, and decisions to make along the way. Sometimes, the technical part is difficult, but managing the whole process can be just as challenging. That is why conducting our seminar titled “Intro to Project Management” felt meaningful to me. It was not just another seminar requirement. It was a chance for us, as GC BitBarkada, to share something useful with younger Computer Science students and help them understand a skill that they will definitely need as they move forward in the program. The seminar was held on May 13, 2026 , at Gordon College, Room 508 , with BSCS 1C as our audience. The main talk was titled “Architecting Success: A Student’s Guide to the IT Project Management Lifecycle.” At first...

Why AI Could Become One of the Most Important Tools in Education

Image
  How AI is Transforming Education Technology continues to evolve rapidly, and one of the most powerful innovations shaping modern society today is Artificial Intelligence. From automation and cybersecurity to communication and productivity, AI is transforming the way people work and interact with technology. As a Computer Science student, I have always been interested in learning how AI can be applied in different industries. However, one area I never fully explored before was how Artificial Intelligence can improve education and support teachers in their everyday responsibilities. That perspective changed when I attended the webinar titled “ReySimplif-AI: Simplify Teaching and Assessment Preparations with TRISEM-Ready AI” conducted by the EdTech Teacher Training Center. At first, I thought the webinar would simply discuss AI productivity tools. But as the session progressed, I realized that it was much deeper than that. The webinar showed how Artificial Intelligence can help...

My Unforgettable Day at IRCITE 2026: Lost on Campus, Found in Knowledge (and Laughter)

Image
March 19, 2026 started way before the sun was fully up. My group and I left early, hearts pounding with a mix of excitement and nerves. We were heading to IRCITE 2026 — the International Research Conference on Information Technology Education organized by PSITE Central Luzon at Bulacan State University in Malolos City . The theme “Ideation, Utilization, and Adoption: Strengthening the Research-to-Practice Cycle in Education” felt perfect for us because we were about to present our own research paper . Little did I know this day would be filled with getting lost, discovering hidden gems, feeling proud of my groupmate, learning life-changing lessons about AI, and laughing until my cheeks hurt. When we finally reached Bulacan State University , I was speechless. The campus is massive — like a small city! Wide open spaces, tall buildings everywhere, and pathways that seemed to go on forever. Without clear signs or a map, I got lost twice just trying to find Valencia Hall. But every w...
