GenSan pilots robotics program in high school

The General Santos City government has launched a pilot program for the integration of robotics modules in the information and communication technology (ICT) education curriculum of local high schools.
Percival Pasuelo, executive assistant for information technology of the city mayor’s office, said they have adopted the General Santos City National High School (GSNHS) in Barangay Calumpang as pilot school for the inclusion of basic robotics training as part of the regular ICT programs of local high schools.
He said the move is part of the local government’s ongoing efforts to increase awareness and adoption of the robotics technology by local schools.The robotics program was launched by the city government last month under its enhanced SHEEP Computer Literacy Program (CLP).
SHEEP stands for Social Transformation, Human Empowerment, Economic Diversification, Environment Security and Regeneration and Participatory Governance and Transparency, which are the city’s main development thrusts.
As part of the program, Pasuelo said they initially delivered 10 units of Arduino boards that were bundled with mobile robots or “mobots.” [Allen V. Estabillo / MindaNews]
