Final Chance to Join Our Short Courses This September: Blender 3D and UX/UI Design!

On May 09, 2026, the IT Academy STEP Cambodia Olympic branch hosted a FREE workshop titled "AI in Programming: Secrets of Vibe Coding" Led by Mr. Chau Magn, an experienced AI Instructor and Software Developer. The session provided a deep dive into how Artificial Intelligence is fundamentally altering the DNA of software engineering. As Cambodia continues its digital transformation, the gap in AI literacy remains a significant challenge. This workshop was designed not just to introduce new tools, but to shift the mindset of Khmer students from being passive users of technology to being active builders of AI-driven systems.   What is "Vibe Coding"? A central theme of the workshop was the concept of "Vibe Coding," a term recently popularized in the global tech community. Mr. Chau Magn explained that Vibe Coding isn't about being less technical; it is about shifting the developer’s focus from the minutiae of syntax to the high-level logic and architecture of a program

In today’s digital world, design is no longer just for creative professionals; it’s becoming a must-have skill for students across all fields. Whether you want to work in marketing, business, tech, or even start your own brand, having strong design skills can give you a serious advantage. In Cambodia, especially in fast-growing cities like Phnom Penh, companies are actively looking for people who can create visual content, manage social media, and communicate ideas clearly. That’s why more students are exploring Graphic Design classes and IT courses in Phnom Penh to stay competitive. So, what exactly should you learn?   Basic Design Principles (The Foundation) Before jumping into tools, every student should understand the core principles of design: - Layout & composition - Color theory - Typography - Visual hierarchy These are the fundamentals that separate a “random design” from something that actually looks professional.

On March 15, 2026, IT Academy STEP Cambodia proudly celebrated another milestone as students from the Software Development and Computer Graphics & Design programs graduated at our Olympic branch in Phnom Penh. The event brought together students, families, friends, and teachers in a meaningful celebration of growth, creativity, and achievement. It was more than just a graduation; it was a reflection of how far these students have come in just 2.5 years.   A Journey from Beginner to Industry-Ready Throughout the ceremony, we revisited the students’ journey, from their first day stepping into IT, to building real-world projects that demonstrate their skills and confidence. Students from the Software Development program showcased applications and systems they developed, while the Computer Graphics & Design group presented creative works ranging from branding to digital design projects. Each project reflected not only technical ability but also problem-solving and creativ
