𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗠𝗣𝗧𝗪𝗔𝗥𝗦 𝗛𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗻 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝘄𝗿𝗮𝗽. 🎉 Today at the NMBLR office in Salcedo, Makati, Junior and Senior High School students did something most adults still haven't done: they sat down, identified real-world problems worth solving, aligned their ideas with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, and built working web app prototypes using Google AI Suite, Gemini, and AI Studio, all in a single day. Before participants touched a single tool, they went through a structured session on critical thinking and problem solving, learned how to write a Product Requirements Document (PRD) as the first real step of their development process, and immediately got to apply it to their own projects. Every prototype built today was grounded in purpose and structure, not just output. That is what PROMPTWARS was designed to do. Not just teach students how to prompt an AI, but train them to think like builders first: define the problem, frame the solution, write the requirements, then use the technology to bring it to life. The energy, the pitches, and the ideas that came out of today's event proved that Filipino students are more than ready for that challenge. PROMPTWARS is made possible by DEVCON Kids, Tutorials Dojo, and NMBLR.AI, three organizations that have been quietly building the next generation of Filipino tech talent. DEVCON Kids brings creative robotics and AI education to young learners across the country. Tutorials Dojo helps students and professionals level up through quality tech certifications and learning resources. NMBLR.AI opened its doors today as the venue and home of this event. If today's energy resonates with you, all three are worth getting to know. 👉 devconkids.org 👉 tutorialsdojo.com 👉 nmblr.ai #PromptWars #DEVCONKids #TutorialsDojo #NMBLR #HackathonDay #GoogleAI #Gemini #FutureBuilders #StudentInnovation #DEVCONPH #VibeCoding #CriticalThinking #SDGs

𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗠𝗣𝗧𝗪𝗔𝗥𝗦 𝗛𝗔𝗖𝗞𝗔𝗧𝗛𝗢𝗡 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 𝗜𝗦 𝗖𝗨𝗥𝗥𝗘𝗡𝗧𝗟𝗬 𝗛𝗔𝗣𝗣𝗘𝗡𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗡𝗢𝗪! 🤖 Right now in Salcedo, Makati, Junior and Senior High School students are using AI tools to design, prototype, and pitch real web app solutions to real-world problems, no coding required. DEVCON Kids is also on the ground today showcasing their creative cardboard robots: Aiko, CrabBot, Botterfly, Helicopter, and Forklift are all at the event, giving participants a firsthand look at what student-built robotics actually looks like in real life. These robots were built by real student hands as part of DEVCON Kids' Creative Robotics program, proof that you don't need a fancy lab or a computer science degree to build something that moves, responds, and inspires. PROMPTWARS is exactly that energy: ideas first, tools second, and a whole lot of showing up. PROMPTWARS is made possible by two communities that have been quietly building the next generation of Filipino tech talent. DEVCON Kids has been bringing creative robotics and AI education to young learners across the country, while Tutorials Dojo has been helping students and professionals crack their tech certifications and level up their careers. If today's energy resonates with you, both are worth getting to know. 👉 devconkids.org 👉 tutorialsdojo.com #PromptWars #DEVCONKids #TutorialsDojo #HackathonDay #CreativeRobotics #FutureBuilders #StudentInnovation #DEVCONPH #VibeCoding #AIHackathon

𝐂𝐨𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝟑 𝐆𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐮𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 & 𝐃𝐞𝐦𝐨 𝐃𝐚𝐲: 𝐅𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐬. 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐬. 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭. Cohort 3 of DEVCON Jumpstart has officially closed its chapter — and they didn't just intern, they shipped. At DEVCON Jumpstart, Lady Casilang (Project Management & Blockchain Smart Contracts Track), Allyza Goyon (Project Management and Creative Robotics Track), Hernel "Kenshin" Juanico (AI Engineering Track), and Kien Serapio (Product Design & Studios Creatives) took the Demo Day stage powered by the Triple Diamond AIDLC and hundreds of hours of showing up. Swipe through to see the tracks they took, the tools they wielded, and the projects they built from concept to completion. Cohort 3 is also DEVCON Jumpstart's first batch to pilot the brand new AI Engineering Track — a milestone that marks a new direction for how the program trains the next generation of Filipino builders tackling national-scale challenges using Claude Code, Google AI, and Sui Smart Contracts, alongside industry-based AI practitioners, inside the Philippines' largest tech non-profit. Cohort 4 is already ongoing with team members from Manila, Iloilo, and CDO. Watch out for more details in the Cohort 4 showcase.

Lent by the NMBLR.AI Team, we are exploring the NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano — a compact powerhouse designed to bring high-performance AI to the edge. Built on the NVIDIA Ampere architecture, this System-on-Module (SoM) packs massive GPU power and specialized Tensor Cores into a tiny footprint, acting as a miniature supercomputer for robotics, drones, and IoT devices that require local, high-speed processing. For developers, the Orin Nano is a game-changer, bridging the gap between massive data-center models and real-world deployment. By leveraging the CUDA ecosystem and TensorRT optimization, it allows for the execution of sophisticated neural networks — like real-time object detection and autonomous navigation — with near-zero latency. This is what Edge AI for offline, local use looks like in practice: no cloud dependency, no connectivity requirement, just intelligent decision-making that lives entirely on the device. For builders in the Philippines and beyond, that means creating truly autonomous and responsive machines that work anywhere — whether you're in a smart city or a far-flung barangay with no stable internet. Watch out for what the DEVCON Jumpstart Interns will build next with this. Want to get access to these tools?

🚀 From Intramuros to Nationwide: The Move Smart Code Camp Movement Continues! Looking back at March 28, 2026, the national kickoff of the Move Smart Code Camp officially took flight with a massive pilot at Colegio de San Juan de Letran in Intramuros. Volunteers from DEVCON Manila dedicated their time and expertise to running 3 parallel classrooms simultaneously, giving participants an invaluable opportunity to dive deep into the Sui ecosystem, build portfolios, explore Web3, and write their first Sui Move smart contracts. What spark started in the historic walls of Intramuros is now officially igniting a nationwide movement. Following that incredible launch, code camps have already been successfully completed in Bukidnon and Iloilo, and the momentum is moving faster than ever. Next up on the nationwide schedule, upcoming code camps are heading to Laguna and Pampanga as we continue creating intentional access to blockchain education and mentorship across the country. We’re only getting started, with more regional code camps already in the works to bring Sui Move smart contract training to more aspiring developers. Whether you’re a mentor ready to guide or a student eager to learn, visit https://devcon.ph/ to get involved and read more about our partnership at https://devcon.ph/sui-and-devcon-philippines-launch…/. #Sui #SuiMove #SmartContracts #DEVCONPH #BuildBeyond #MoveSmartCodeCamp #Letran #Intramuros #Bukidnon #Iloilo #Laguna #Pampanga #WomenInTech #BlockchainEducation #Nationwide
