The company's collaboration with various 'maker Labs,' organizations such as the Philippine Society of Information Technology Educators and academia from the University of the Philippines were provided with a total of 400 Intel® Galileo development boards for students and individuals who want to take a try in making their innovations powered by the Intel chip. 

“Our work with private institutions and the academia demonstrates the results of what technology can do for education. A great example of this is our work in rebuilding and providing digital devices to Sto. Niño Elementary School, where we were able incorporate technology into the students’ education,” said Chisholm.

“These efforts integrate our innovations deeply into education efforts locally, and enable us to contribute to the Filipino community – by ensuring that students and individuals are given a strong chance to realize their full potential through the power of technology,” he concluded.

So far that's it, I'm sure there is more to come from Intel and we'll definitely keep an eye on your development to uplift the life of everyone.
