    A day after one lovely valentine’s flows, the FIT club organized an academic service whose purpose was to introduce the basic concept of programming using Scratch.According to Scratch, “Scratch is a high-level block-based visual programming language and website aimed at children as an educational tool for programming, with a target audience of ages 8 to 16. Users on the site, called Scratchers, can create projects on the website using a block-like interface.” Because of that, we took this opportunity to teach Scratch to students of grades seven to nine.

    Students at this age are still at their curiosity peak, so it’s best to introduce them to the basic concept of programming, to help them gain knowledge that will help them dive further into the IT world. I’d like to specially mention the Institution of Asia-Pacific International University for giving us this opportunity for being able to teach middle to high schoolers about programming. This academic activity aimed to not only give benefits to the community but also to strengthen the critical and logical thinking skills, encouraging students to be able to conduct better decision making for their future purposes.

    The Faculty of Information Technology is grateful to the nine (9) brave students that kindly participated as trainers/photographers in the event: Brandon Bendah, Reuben Fretten, Musonda Kankomba, Sila Waleesila, Kritmetee Wongngern, Enowell Danieyl, Titus Anthoney, and Pimlapat Piromruk.

    The Faculty of Information Technology invited an Experienced Data Consultant, Mr. Peter John Fretten, to a seminar titled “Practical Application of IT Skills in the Real World.” The seminar aimed to educate our students to be informed about their identity value to the real world. The Faculty of Information Technology, alongside The Faculty of Business Administration, was invited as attendees and are ready to face the world of digital information. During the Seminar, Mr. Fretten presented to us using simple PowerPoint slides that consisted of valuable information about how important our identity is to the internet.

    The attendees were introduced to the concept of Identity Theft, “the crime of obtaining the personal or financial information of another person to use their identity to commit fraud, such as making unauthorized transactions or purchases.” Based on Mr. Peter’s experience, there was one time when an acquaintance of his sought out his passport for him to buy a ticket flying to the States. He took a picture of his passport and send it to the acquaintance, however, without knowing it, his identity was used to launch another business that he does not know of. Good thing that he wasn’t forced to pay anything, at least for now. Most of the time Identity Theft doesn’t end well, so take this as a lesson from an experienced person.

    The student of the Faculty of Information Technology Mr. Arthur Boy Praja successfully carried out the defense of the first part of his senior project titled “AIU Community Music School Management System” on February 10, 2021.

    The first part of a senior project is an essential requirement of the B.Sc. in Information Technology curriculum. It is executed while the student takes IT483 System Development Project I course. A senior project encompasses a computer information system development project. Application of concepts, techniques, and tools used in analysis and design of a computer-based information system are applied. In this first stage of the project, the student produces the following outputs: Project objectives, preliminary investigation (company profile, description of the problem, business benefits, feasibility study), plan and scheduling, Analysis and Design (risk analysis and requirements engineering).

    This event was aimed not only to allow the senior student to defend his project but also to provide IT students who attended the defense with an opportunity to earn new stimulant ideas and learn from the process.

    The Faculty of Information Technology wants to congratulate Mr. Arthur Boy Praja for his successful achievement and extends its gratitude to the attendees for being part of the occasion.

    The Programming Club of the Faculty of Information Technology successfully carried out a workshop on GitHub on November 1, 2020.

    As part of the IT toolkit, any IT professional needs to know a version control system. This type of systems helps software developers to keep control in a collaborative environment as well as simplify the process of backup of development outputs. In this context, during the workshop IT students were trained on software development project workflow using git connected to GitHub, which is one of the most popular cloud-based version control systems available in the marketplace.

    This event aimed to provide the students with knowledge in essential IT tools and how to use it in the real business world. In the occasion, students were encouraged to continue to learn more about control version systems.

    The Faculty of Information Technology extends its gratitude for the commitment of the Programming Club’s adviser and officers in preparing and hosting this event.
