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.

🚀 NEXUS Pilot AI Training for DEVCON PH Leaders 🚀 The pilot NEXUS AI Training, provided by NMBLR and personally led by DEVCON Founder and President Winston Damarillo, kicked off with nationwide hybrid morning keynotes that connected AI-enabled tech leaders from Bukidnon, Pampanga, Legazpi, and beyond. This session gathered chapter heads to build a unified foundation for AI-ready communities. The training focused on the evolution of open source in the age of AI, emphasizing the importance of sharing code and playbooks while maintaining humans in the loop as skeptical auditors. A core focus was cultivating "T-shaped skills" among our leaders—ensuring they possess deep technical capability paired with a broad understanding that spans across product, QA, design, and business. Aligned with UN Sustainable Development Goals #4, 8, 9, and 16, the training ended with a three-hour hackathon where teams built live solutions using the Nexus stack (Claude, Qwen, Ollama, Antigravity, and Google AI Suite). This successful pilot marks the beginning of a nationwide rollout, and we're hoping to bring this next to our Visayas and Mindanao leaders! 🌐 Learn more at https://www.nmblr.ai/nexus and https://devcon.ph #DEVCONPH #AgenticAI #NMBLR #BuildWithInitiative #NexusAITraining 👉 Read the cards to get the takeaways NEXUS Pilot AI Training for DEVCON PH Leaders

𝐃𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐈𝐬𝐧'𝐭 𝐀 𝐁𝐨𝐱 𝐓𝐨 𝐓𝐢𝐜𝐤. 𝐈𝐭'𝐬 𝐀 𝐌𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐢𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐫. 🚀 Listen to this empowering message of support from ED Corieh (Peng) Dichosa, Executive Director of the Board of Investments (BOI), played across our nationwide #SHEIsDEVCON celebrations. When women lead in tech, innovation becomes more inclusive, ethical, and sustainable. In the Philippines, we are lucky to have a culture where women are empowered, but the mission continues because diversity isn't just about fairness—it’s a strategy. At the BOI, having 9 out of 14 women in management brings a "nurturing touch" that fundamentally changes how projects are felt by the people they serve. An inclusive tech workforce is important. Global evidence shows that involving women ensures technology reflects social and ethical considerations, preventing anyone from being left behind in the digital rush. We aren't just filling seats; we are bringing talino, kakayahan, tiyaga, at diskarte to the table to solve the world's biggest problems. By opening doors through #SheIsDEVCON, we translate vision into action. To all the ladies—the young and the young at heart—now is the time. Claim your spot, own it, and show them what you’re capable of. We do this for more than just code or commerce; we do it to build a caring, nurturing, and sustainable future for our children and the generations to come. 🥂✨ #SheIsDEVCON #DEVCONph #BoardofInvestments #WomenInTech #TechLeadership #GeeksUnite #16YearsofDEVCON #BOI

What happens when a global connection meets a nationwide grassroots network? The future of technology isn't just about innovation—it's about Intentional Access. What started as a connection at Consensus Hong Kong last year has evolved into a powerful movement, and we are now officially rolling out nationwide code camps and developer events through our nationwide DEVCON chapters. DEVCON Code Camps and #SHEISDEVCON Programs are thrilled to feature and welcome Harrison Kim, APAC Developer Advocate of Mysten Labs, who shares why partnering with DEVCON PH is a meaningful step toward a more inclusive technology landscape. Harrison knows that DEVCON's mission goes beyond events—it's about empowering communities across the Philippines, especially in underserved areas where access to tech education remains limited. Harrison was deeply impressed by the dedication of the #SHEISDEVCON mentors who led the Smart Contract Code Camp at Colegio de San Juan de Letran in Intramuros, where over 80+ participants dove into the stack with incredible drive. For Harrison, that energy is just the beginning; he hopes these builders continue their journey in blockchain, diving deeper into the technology that will unlock opportunities waiting for them. As part of the "Build Beyond" initiative, Sui and DEVCON PH are bringing these intensive code camps to more regions across the country—with upcoming stops in Tacloban, Bukidnon, Iloilo, and Pampanga. Whether you're a mentor ready to share your expertise or a builder taking your first step into tech, there is a place for you in our community. Join us in making tech more accessible by attending one of our nationwide events or signing up to volunteer today at https://devcon.ph/.
