Globe Telecom, in partnership with The Mind Museum, launched the Mind Museum mobile app that aims to bring to life the wonderful experience of being in a world-class science museum to more Filipino educators, students and parents. 

As a way to further drive education into the 21^st century with Information and Communications Technology (ICT), The Mind Museum app provides curated science content for learning that is made accessible to all via phone or tablet, online and offline. It features more than 250 different exhibit pieces that range from an array of K to 12 topics and questions to a collection of do-it-yourself science experiments designed for both the teachers and the student. 

“We stay true to our commitment that all Filipinos should have access to excellent quality education through ICT. The partnership with the Mind Museum ensures that our learners, especially those in public schools, will have access to more relevant and engaging educational content through mobile technology,” shared Globe Director of Corporate Social Responsibility Fernando Esguerra. 

“Education is a big job and the museum wants to do its role to improve it for Filipinos. Having Globe as a a partner in this mission of promoting science and education makes it more powerful.  With the launch of this app, we hope for an increased interest and appreciation towards the different initiatives that The Mind Museum accomplishes. We’d like to thank Globe for all the wonderful support in advancing this undertaking,” said Maribel Garcia, Curator for the Mind Museum. 

The leading telecommunications company has long been one of the key players of ICT integration in education. Since 2012, Globe, through one of its key programs, the Global Filipino Schools (GFS) has equipped public high schools with the infrastructure and Internet connectivity to boost the integration of ICT in the classroom. In preparation for the establishment of these schools, teachers are trained on ICT education and project-based learning through the Global Filipino Teachers program so they may maximize the resources provided to their school. 

At present, Globe has transformed a total of 11 public schools into centers of ICT excellence and innovative teaching methods that will set the stage for 21^st century learning. Moving forward, the telco started to transform more schools to GFS in celebration of the annual National Teachers’ Month (NTM) every September 5 to October 5. 

October 5 marked the launch of The Mind Museum mobile app and the celebration of World Teachers’ Day, an event jointly organized by the Department of Education and the National Teachers’ Month Coordinating Council (NTMCC). Globe is a member of the NTMCC.
