ETHICS VIDEO PRESENTATION opening AYEN - Good day, everyone! We are excited to introduce a new and innovative project that aims to expand robotics education beyond the walls of DYCI. DANIEL - DYCI has long been recognized for its excellence in robotics, representing the Philippines in international competitions. AYEN - But what if we could do more? What if we could share our knowledge and expertise with students from other schools who are just as passionate about robotics? Rationale & Purpose of the Project STEPHEN - Robotics education in the Philippines remains limited, with many schools lacking the proper training, equipment, and mentorship needed to develop students’ skills. AYEN - Our proposal is to establish the DYCI Robotics Club for External Students, allowing students from other schools to join and train under DYCI’s robotics program. SJ - This initiative benefits both the students and DYCI. By opening our doors to external students, we provide them with access to high-quality robotics training, while DYCI strengthens its robotics legacy by nurturing a wider pool of talented individuals. SJ - This is not just about training it’s about building a community of future innovators and ensuring that more students, regardless of their school, have the opportunity to develop their skills in robotics. Target Beneficiaries DANIEL - Now, who will benefit from this program?” MIKA - First, the students from other schools. Many students are eager to learn robotics, but their schools may not have robotics programs. Through this club, they will receive expert training, access to advanced equipment, and even opportunities to compete in robotics competitions. RYZA - Second, DYCI itself. By training more students, DYCI builds a stronger robotics network, discovers new talents, and further establishes itself as a leading institution for robotics education in the country. This also opens doors for partnerships, sponsorships, and greater recognition. Expected Outcomes MIKA - With the implementation of this project, we expect several positive results. RYZA - First, students from other schools will develop strong robotics and programming skills, giving them an advantage in their academic and career paths. CEDRICK - Second, DYCI will have a wider pool of trained students, which could lead to stronger robotics teams for future competitions. RAVEN - Third, this initiative promotes collaboration and knowledge-sharing, allowing students to work together regardless of their school, fostering innovation and teamwork. KATHLEEN- And finally, this project strengthens STEM education in the Philippines, inspiring more young minds to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Feasibility & Sustainability of the Project TASHA - Now, is this project feasible and sustainable?” MJ - Yes! DYCI already has the necessary robotics facilities, experienced mentors, and competition-tested training programs. We don’t need to build from scratch, we just need to extend our training to external students. CORINE - To ensure sustainability, the club will operate under a self-sustaining financial model. Students from other schools will pay a reasonable training fee, which will be used to maintain and upgrade robotics equipment, fund competition expenses, and support club operations. STEPHEN - We aim to keep the fee affordable and competitive compared to private robotics workshops or academies. Additionally, we can offer different payment options, such as installment plans, to make the program more accessible. TASHA - To further encourage students to join, we will offer a trial or introductory session where they can experience the program before fully committing. This way, they can see the benefits firsthand, increasing their willingness to participate. KATHLEEN - We will also explore scholarships, sponsorships, and installment payment plans to make the program accessible to more students. RAVEN - Additionally, senior members will take on mentorship roles, ensuring continuous learning and knowledge transfer. Closing CORINE - With this project, we are not just creating a robotics club we are building a future where more students have access to world-class robotics training, regardless of their school. CEDRICK- This is an opportunity to shape the next generation of Filipino innovators. MJ - Together, we can expand the reach of robotics education and strengthen DYCI’s role as a leader in STEM. Let’s make this vision a reality!
