Cohort 3 of DEVCON Jumpstart has officially closed its chapter โ€” 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 โ€” 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 โ€” 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 โ€” like real-time object detection and autonomous navigation โ€” 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 โ€” 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?

๐Ÿš€ 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. Weโ€™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 youโ€™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-launchโ€ฆ/. #Sui #SuiMove #SmartContracts #DEVCONPH #BuildBeyond #MoveSmartCodeCamp #Letran #Intramuros #Bukidnon #Iloilo #Laguna #Pampanga #WomenInTech #BlockchainEducation #Nationwide

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 fairnessโ€”itโ€™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 ladiesโ€”the young and the young at heartโ€”now is the time. Claim your spot, own it, and show them what youโ€™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. ๐Ÿฅ‚โœจ #SheIsDEVCON #DEVCONph #BoardofInvestments #WomenInTech #TechLeadership #GeeksUnite #16YearsofDEVCON #BOI
