The School of Mathematics, Physics and Technology recently used a week of activities to raise the awareness of the utility of these disciplines and how they are the linchpin of a fundamental understanding and development of the modern world. This was much the same theme that Antonio Stubbs, Senior Vice President of Technical Services, Transformation and Planning at the Bahamas Telecommunications Company Limited delivered when he spoke to students and faculty.
As the demand increases for young, technologically shrewd individuals in the job market, COB students were challenged to use their knowledge, creativity and passion now to drive future innovations.
"You can't come here every day, sit in classes, take exams, get A's, graduate and go home and get a job. Put these brains together. Why can't you build the next super app? Why don't you guys put your minds together and develop some applications for the banking industry and the tourism industry?" he questioned.
Mr. Stubbs was the keynote speaker for the opening ceremony for Mathematics, Physics and Technology Week at The College and delivered a high-energy presentation, which captured the attention of the audience that filled the auditorium of the Harry C. Moore Library and Information Centre. He illustrated how technology has evolved so rapidly, particularly in the telecommunications sector.
