In the School of Design and the Arts (SODA) Week 2024 at iACADEMY, students, faculty, and guests had unforgettable experiences that combined creativity and technology.
The grand launch of the Ex Machina Deus: Manmade group exhibition at the Nexus Gallery was one of the week’s highlights, featuring works from renowned local and international artists such as Elena Bajo, Bohovee (Martin), Jef Carnay, Dex Fernandez, Arvin Flores, Denver Garza, Rox Lee, Carol Anne McChrystal.
Students were also able to learn from industry experts during SODA Week. CO TEACH sessions such as Systems Engineering 101 with Tony Sawyer and discussions led by creatives such as Tusa Montes and Anjeline De Dios provided students with valuable insight into the rapidly evolving fields of design, media, and technology. The engagement with leading professionals demonstrated iACADEMY’s commitment to providing practical, industry-relevant education.
Students displayed their talents on the final day of the event. As part of the MMA: TikTok session with Vergel Gregorio and Paolo Domingo’s Panginoon ng Kababawan, the ANIMASAYA Awarding Ceremony, and the FDT Fashion Show, students demonstrated their creativity and skills. They also had the opportunity to share their work with the wider community through the MPSD Showcase and FLM Capstone Festival Screening, which highlighted the school’s diverse talent pool.
SODA Week 2024 not only celebrated iACADEMY students’ achievements, but also provided them with the opportunity to learn, grow, and shine. In addition to celebrating this event, the Dean and chairpersons laid the groundwork for students to become leaders in their fields by providing a platform for growth and learning.
