The Society for the Welfare of Information Technology Students (SWITS) officially opened their workshop series AVITA: A Room for Improvement, Unlocked, today April 26, 2022 at exactly 9 AM via Facebook live and Zoom Meeting.
The event started with an opening remarks from Mr. John Michael Calizon, SWITS Faculty Adviser. “A new room for improvement is unlocked, a new character is unlocked, a new future full of potential is unlocked. Hitting the word unlock is equivalent to a gift. It is like a reassurance that you have made progress. This is the key role of this workshop series, wherein we make the error perform a process return.” he stated.
โIโd like to mention my deconstruction of the word Avita. The first word is an adjective, “avid” – to have a desire for something or to show enthusiasm in something one may have interest in. The second word is a noun, and we call it vita. Vita is simply a biography or a resume. And last, the word “avita” itself. Allotting a Sanskrit word meaning life and strength,โ he added.
Following the opening remarks is the message of support from SWITS Faculty Adviser, Mr. Sheldon Arenas. โEven in the situation that we have right now, we still have to remember that we have to prepare for our future, and one way to do it is to have at least one skill that we could use as a weapon.โ he stated.
โEducation is our password to the future, for tomorrow belongs to the people who prepare for it today.โ he concluded.
The workshop consisted of three main parts: the Adobe Premiere Pro led by Mr. Kim Flores, the current SWITS video editor, Adobe Photoshop presented by Ms. Roselle Joice Santos, the SWITS Creative Communications Manager and Ms. Norene Morales; while, the Adobe Animate workshop were guided by Mr. Glenn Angel Polangco, SWITSโ Vice President for Finance, and Mr. Gerome Tayao, SWITS layout artist.
The student mentors started by defining and explaining their respective software. As well as the application’s interface and tools, and how to navigate the platform. In the latter part of the workshop, the presenters were able to provide sample projects to apply the different functions and elements.
SWITS also opened the floor for questions from the participants marking the conclusion of the workshops.
