ISLA CAMP (Internet Computer Protocol-ICP Manila) and DEVCON Philippines Renew Partnership for Nationwide Smart Contracts Code Camps and Emerging Technologies Education in 2025!
DEVCON Philippines and Isla Hub Philippines are excited to announce the renewal of their partnership for nationwide smart contracts code camps and emerging technologies education initiatives.
This renewed partnership builds upon the success of 2024 collaborations, where they reached over 50 schools and partners, provided hands-on code camp mentorship to over 600 developers, and completed and deployed 300+ smart contracts projects.
Notably, DEVCON Philippines focused on reaching new code camp locations that don't always get the same opportunities, including Mindoro, Lucena, Laguna, Lipa, Cagayan De Oro, Iloilo, Iligan, Legazpi, and more. This ensured these communities had access to the latest emerging technologies training, such as blockchain.
"It's a pleasure empowering IT students and developers with not just a concept intro to blockchain but helping them explore and publish their first ever smart contracts project as part of their portfolio," shares Michael Lance, Web3 Code Camps Lead, DEVCON Philippines.
"From Bicol, Mindoro, Iligan, CDO, and Iloilo, we've reached 2,000+ attendees through our offline events and mentored 600+ students from 50+ schools and partner venues. 2024 is just a pilot for us, and we're excited to reach new schools and destinations next year."
"We aim to transform Filipinos from technology consumers into active builders," says Nelson Lumbres, founder of ISLA CAMP (ICP HUB Philippines). "This partnership offers Filipino developers a chance to stand out globally and access transformative opportunities. We're thrilled to continue collaborating with DEVCON Philippines."
"The partnership didn't just inspire the next generation of developers - this also allowed DEVCON Philippines to help build and support new chapters in Laguna, Bukidnon, and Pampanga," comments Dom de Leon, Executive Director of DEVCON Philippines.
"With so much hype and noise on emerging technologies, empowering the builder community to be future-ready and decentralizing access to tech opportunities are where we're most excited about this partnership."
