It will be a #YearOfScience for XSTIG!

As we welcome 2016, I have made a personal declaration to devote it as the Year of Science! Yes, knowing more about how things work through the wonders of Science is something that we should grow this year aside from the entertainment and the politics that rule the internet. I guess it is time for us to be scientists and geeks about the world, the universe rather, around us.

Because if there was no science, there will be no progress in human evolution and civilization. Along with Art, science has been the greatest contributor for progress in humanity. Now that we reap the fruits of it (and probably more in the years to come), would it be fitting to educate the world with the beauty and diversity of science in many forms.

Intel Philippines announced that it has partnered with leading education technology solutions provider FELTA Multi-Media Inc. to enable an education transformation initiative in local public schools through Intel Education Solutions (IES). Earlier this year, Intel helped transform local classrooms in Davao into interactive learning environments by training teachers and donating 25 Intel Education Tablets and solar power equipment to the Marilog Central Elementary School (MCES). Intel is now able to engage more schools in tablet-assisted education with the recent acquisition of 750 tablets by the Department of Education in Makati.
