UA-DU Launch STEAM Camp 2023
After a series of successful collaborations, University of Antique continues to brave the arena of internationalization as it strengthens its partnership with Daegu University, South Korea through launching the Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts & Culture, and Mathematics (STEAM) Virtual Camp 2023, February 13 – 22.
The one week virtual camp is on its second year having conducted a successful STEAM Camp in February 2022 which benefited the 100 pupils of Juan Vego Elementary School and Lacaron Integrated School in Sibalom, Antique.
This year, student interns from DU served as virtual teachers, while student interns from UA College of Arts and Sciences, College of Teacher Education, and College of Computer Studies physically facilitated the activities that aimed to introduce the pupils of Sibalom Central Elementary School and Sido San Juan Elementary School to Korea and Korean culture including their games, foods, and national costumes through various activities.
Mr. Mark Francis Natividad, Grade 6 adviser of Sibalom Central Elementary School expressed his gratitude for the opportunity given to the learners. “This is also an eye-opener for us teachers to extend more learning instructional materials like what you have done,” he further stated.
The said activity is a form of internship and exchange programs between UA and DU that marks a successful collaboration between the two institutions./IAP
