Alfred Ada, school principal, said this interaction motivate their students, especially those taking the electronics course.
Yesterday, electronic communication specialists from MCV and IT&E demonstrated to students the functions of electronic gadgets and systems.
Mark Birmingham, MCV system manager, said the students were very eager to learn about digital and electronic systems.
Birmingham was accompanied by MCV chief engineer Bryan Pitt.
IT&E chief technical officer Dr. Frederick Hill said their goal was to convince the students to study, and pursue a career in, communication technology.
Birmingham and Hill said students should have good mathematical and language skills if they want to study electronics.
“If you want to go into the communications industry you must excel in school and have good mathematical skills,” Hill said.
A college instructor for many years, Hill said there are CNMI students who can find good jobs in the communication industry.
Technology sharing program coordinator Benjie Ladringan said the huge turnout of students for yesterday’s technology sharing and demonstration indicated their interest in electronics.
He wants to see more students improve their electronic skills because they will enter a world that depends on digital and electronic gadgets.
Ada said their school teaches electronics to 29 students as part of the elective courses for ninth to 12th graders.
He said students are learning basic electronics and “we are happy that they want to learn more.”
