Academic Hall & Laboratory Tour
After exploring the interactive booths, the CSC-SOC officers guided the students to the Academic Hall, where the A Day with the Fox event officially commenced. This part of the program aimed to provide a structured introduction to the different fields within the School of Computing Courses, helping students gain a deeper understanding of their potential career paths. The session included:
Opening remarks
AVP presentation showcasing different IT-related courses
Laboratory tour on the 6th and 7th floors of SJH
Code Geeks’ Web Development Introduction
Code Geeks was assigned to SJH 707, where we warmly welcomed students as if they were already part of our growing tech community. Inside the laboratory, we set up an interactive mirror writing booth, where students could write messages on a mirror and watch their words appear on the other side. This activity symbolized how Web Development allows us to shape the digital world from different perspectives.
Following this, we conducted an informative session where we:
Asked students about their experience with websites to spark engagement
Explained the fundamentals of Web Development and its impact on the industry
Introduced Holy Angel University’s BS IT specialization in Web Development, emphasizing its hands-on curriculum, industry-relevant coursework, and career-focused training that prepares students for real-world applications. Additionally, we discussed the various career opportunities available in Web Development, including:
Web and Applications Developer
Junior Database Administrator
Web Administrator
Web Designer/Developer
Web Solutions Specialist
Technical Writer
QA Specialist
Computer Programmer
Graphics Designer
Systems Analyst

Hands-On Coding Experience
To further enhance the learning experience, we showcased websites created by HAU Web Development students, allowing participants to navigate and explore real projects.
We then invited a volunteer to try basic coding, giving them a firsthand experience of how websites are built from scratch. Through this activity, students gained valuable insight into the logic, structure, and effort that go into developing functional, user-friendly websites.
A Token to Remember
Before wrapping up the laboratory session, each student received a special sticker with the message:
“Every Pixel Counts” — a reminder that in Web Development, every small detail contributes to the bigger picture. This message extends beyond just coding and design—it reflects the importance of precision, creativity, and problem-solving in the world of technology.
To commemorate the experience, we also took the opportunity to have a group photo with the students.
Shaping the Future of IT-Web Development
Through A Day with the Fox, Code Geeks introduced future IT students to the opportunities in Web Development. Through interactive activities and discussions, we showcased the impact of web technologies and the career paths available in the field. More than just coding, we emphasized creativity, problem-solving, and innovation—empowering students to explore their passion for technology and take their first steps toward a future in IT.
