The courses cover technical and soft skills lessons, with a focus on STEAMED,” it added.The project will begin through a skills benchmarking exercise “to identify the specific needs of Filipino students.”This will help put the program in the local context, according to the agency.IamtheCODE will help with the pilot implementation of the project in selected schools — would initially focus from Grade 7 to Junior High School.
