“Because one of my student don’t know how to read yet… now he can with the use of technology… see! he’s a technical guy now… I wish more units would come… hehe – thanks to Indigenous PH to sir Macoy Mejia go on brothers!” – Gimparay Sialdang

Most of these kids doesn’t reach or proceed secondary education.  Because for them, primary education will suffice to live for farming and do labor works.  With this new skills that they have learned, I hope that their future would change for the better.

I bought my 2nd WebCam, USB Audio Card, USB WiFi with Soft AP, a Mic, Wire kit and a Bread Board.   Let’s see what happens when we mix it with Arduino and Raspberry Pi

Starting my Make-a-week habit.
