The videos will be aired on the channel, following the curriculum schedule of DepEd, and will also be available through online platforms and offline materials. </p><p>Among the speakers for the event are data scientist Dr. Reina Reyes, who is also the host of the Knowledge Channel show &quot;Science Says,&quot; and Breakthrough Junior Challenge 2017 winner Hillary Andales.</p><p>“I grew up with &#x27;Sineskwela,&#x27;” Reyes said. “I’m happy that what they’re producing here is really Filipino made. You can really relate to it. There is so much videos, materials available from around the world but they don’t represent us. And it makes a real difference if we can see ourselves and learn together with fellow Filipinos.”</p><p>Andales, who also credits the Knowledge Channel show &quot;Sineskwela&quot; to her early interest in science, said she has become a fan of the interns.</p><p>“Having these students these interns produce such high quality content for fellow students is amazing,” she said. </p><p>Vanessa Tanco, president and CEO of iAcademy, said they are thankful for the opportunity of collaborating with Knowledge Channel. </p><p>“They’ve been able to do real-life work that are really used in the industry, in education,” she said. “It’s also inspiring for them (interns) to do these types of projects that really make a difference in the Philippines.”</p><p>Other schools that participated in the intern program are Arellano University, Asia Pacific College, Centro Escolar University, CIIT College of Arts and Technology, CIIT Senior High School, De La Salle University, Don Bosco Technical Institute, Informatics International College-Cainta, Mary the Queen College Quezon City, Our Lady of Fatima University, Polytechnic University of the Philippines, Rizal Technological University, Siena College of Taytay, St. Paul University, Sta.
