Even as Typhoon Kristine battered the country, the spirit of learning and resilience shone brightly. The SPARK Technical Training in AI-Literacy: The New Literacy in the 21st Century continued uninterrupted, thanks in large part to the exceptional efforts of our resource speaker, Dr. Marie Grace A. Gomez from UP Diliman. Her dedication to education and innovation made this training not just possible, but also engaging and inspiring for all participants.

A Dedication to Education Amid Adversity

As the storm raged outside, Dr. Gomez demonstrated remarkable adaptability, ensuring that our training sessions remained focused and impactful. Her presence as a recent UP Diliman Centennial Professor Chair awardee of 2024 added tremendous value to the program, as she shared her wealth of knowledge and expertise in the field of AI.

She skillfully integrated new methods into the learning experience, utilizing tools that facilitated collaboration and interaction, which were essential given the circumstances, we were able to continue our exploration of AI and its applications without missing a beat.

Looking Ahead

Our recent experience during Typhoon Kristine serves as a reminder that the pursuit of knowledge knows no bounds. With the support of DICT and esteemed educators like Dr. Gomez, we look forward to more enriching learning experiences that inspire and empower our community for the future.
