From August 24–26, 2026, our students came together for an unforgettable bootcamp filled with learning, collaboration, pitching, and innovation.

But this was more than just three days—it was the beginning of something bigger.

With the ₱100,000 Student Incubation Grant Fund, ideas can move beyond the classroom and take their first steps toward becoming real-world solutions.

Here’s to the ideas we sparked, the connections we made, and the future we’re building—one student innovator at a time.
