Marking the 90th year of Miriam College in 2016, it launched the Philippines\u2019 First Integrated Makerspace, the Miriam College \u2013 Henry Sy, Sr. Innovation Center. In continuing the legacy of its founders and embracing innovation, it launched the campaign \u201cInnovation at the heart of MC Education\u201d and to support that, the center launched the President\u2019s Challenge, a fun and exciting venue for members of the Miriam College community to think of innovative solutions to real-world problems. They take center stage as they design and implement projects that hone the 21st-century skills of creativity, critical thinking, collaboration, and communication. With the help of industry experts and mentors, the President\u2019s Challenge serves as a means for the institution to show that Miriam College is an empowering hub for trailblazers, rooted in our founders, the Maryknoll Sisters of New York.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
