Superloop opens second Future Minds Lab in Manila to expand digital access for students

Superloop has opened its second Superloop Future Minds Lab at Taguig Integrated School, giving students in Grades 7 to 10 a dedicated space to learn, research and build digital skills.

Officially opened on 28 October, the lab follows the launch of the first Superloop Future Minds Lab in Colombo in August. Manila is home to one of Superloop’s international teams, which supports customer experience across the business.

A previously unused classroom has been transformed into an 80 sqm digital learning space with 18 refurbished Superloop laptops, upgraded facilities and new furniture. The lab will support ICT lessons, research and hands-on digital learning across the senior years.

“Through this generous contribution, our students will have greater access to digital tools, allowing them to enhance their technological skills, strengthen their learning experiences, and better prepare for the demands of the modern world,” said Dr. Cipriano M. Bisco Jr., School Principal IV, DepEd Taguig Integrated School.

Blanche Ramos, Superloop’s Manila Country Manager, spoke at the ceremony about her own path into technology.

“I was once a student with big dreams too. I want these students to know their ambitions are worth chasing, and that the right tools can help get them there,” said Ms Ramos.

The ceremony brought together Superloop executives, the Manila team and the school community, who welcomed guests with Filipino cultural performances.

Working with Superloop’s ESG team and teachers at Taguig Integrated School, the Manila team has developed a 12-month program of quarterly sessions led by Superloop volunteers. Sessions will cover coding and problem solving, online safety, digital creativity and careers in technology, with around 40 to 60 employees expected to take part across the year.

The Superloop Future Minds Lab is part of Superloop’s commitment to digital inclusion, combining investment in local schools with hands-on involvement from its people in the communities where they work.
