Tradition continues as the BS Computer Science students celebrates their 7th Computer Science Day, Feb. 12, with the theme “Future Proofing for Student Sustainability and Awareness.”
The whole day affair was filled with different activities like talent showdown, skills contest, seminar and the Search for Mr. and Miss Computer Science 2020.
During the opening program, Computer Science Department chairman Prof. Jelly L. Paredes and satellite college director Dr. Adelfo Z. Virtudazo shared some insights on the relevance of the occasion.
BSCS students were divided into four teams and each team identified their representatives to the different contests.
The morning session was highlighted by Street Dancing and TalaCat (Tala and Catriona) Dance Challenge participated by the four teams.
Students also learned from the topic discussed by Mr. Mark Jun A. Gersaniva during the seminar.
In the afternoon, selected B.S. Computer Science students joined in the quiz bowl where Justine Luces won, followed by John Alfred Mesias and Mark Lariosa in second and third place, respectively.
Meanwhile, Allen Jay Francisco took first place in Keyboard Master while Marwell Lerio got second place and Jino Myles Linan was in third place.
