This is an annual event for our most skilled and talented students to showcase their skills and proficiencies in their respective fields by putting them to test.

On the other hand, the group of BSIT senior Adrian Leonardia, BS Accounting Technology junior Aljec Candelasa, and Grade 11 Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) student Roberosa Buscado of STI West Negros University proved just how extensive their general knowledge was in Think Quest when they answered most questions correctly and breezed through the rounds quicker than you can say "correct!"
A group of BSIT juniors from STI College – Alabang proved to have the most compelling visual interpretation of the Director's Cut theme "Gem of the Community" by using a palindrome in a poem. The video produced by Dahlia Claro, Dianne Lupiba, and Cezar Joseph Ventura was one for the books as the first ever winner of the competition in STI's history.
Among the photos captured for Shutter's Best, the entry shot of BSIT freshman Skie Alvarez from STI College – Tuguegarao made it to the top that aesthetically and perfectly juxtaposed the meaning of the given theme "Ruined but Beautiful."
We instill among our students the value of doing their best to succeed. It's not about winning the competition, but learning through the experience in participating and witnessing the performance of their fellow STIers. We continue to hold this annually to highlight the remarkable talents and skills of students as they put their education to practice, which is also part of their holistic development.
Through the TNT and TNS, our students learn the value of a healthy competition where they experience actual application of everything they learned in school, camaraderie, and good sportsmanship. As an academic institution, we continuously encourage the students to excel and to be their best selves through these competitions and other co-curricular activities.
