IT Academy STEP Cambodia Opens 2 New Professional Classes Starting March 2026

On July 4, our STEP Olympic Branch was packed. 67 students showed up for our free workshop, AI Tools for 3D Animation and Product Design. By the end, one thing was clear: everyone wanted to know how AI is changing the way 3D artists work. If you missed it, here is what went down.   A Session That Actually Kept You Awake The workshop was led by Mr. Aleksei Brunov, and he kept it fun. Instead of reading off slides, he built things live. Students watched every step happen in real time, including the mistakes and the fixes. But the best part was not the tech. It was learning where AI helps, where it fails, and why you still need real skill to get a good result.   AI Can Start the Job. It Cannot Finish It. Here is the lesson that surprised most students. AI is amazing at the first step. You type one sentence and a rough 3D model shows up in minutes. Work that used to take days now takes seconds. But open that model and the problem shows up fast. The shape is mes

On June 28, 2026, IT Academy STEP Cambodia marked another proud milestone as two groups of students crossed the stage and stepped into the future they worked so hard to build. Graduates from the Computer Graphics & Design and Software Development programs celebrated the end of one journey and the beginning of a far bigger one: a career in the industries shaping Cambodia's digital future. Two Programs, One Shared Determination The graduating class represented two distinct but equally vital sides of the technology world. The Computer Graphics & Design graduates spent their journey mastering the visual language of the digital age, learning to turn ideas into compelling designs, brand identities, and creative work that businesses depend on every day. The Software Development graduates, meanwhile, learned to build the systems, applications, and solutions that power modern life. Behind every line of code was a student who refused to give up, who debugged late into the night, a

If you have ever opened an app and thought, "Why is this so confusing?" or "This just feels nice to use," you have already been thinking like a UX/UI designer. The good news for young Cambodians: turning that instinct into a real, well-paid career does not require a computer science degree, a coding background, or years of study. UX/UI design is one of the fastest-growing creative careers in the world, and Cambodia's digital economy is catching up quickly. Local startups, banks, e-commerce platforms, and delivery apps all need designers who can make their products easy and enjoyable to use. The demand is real, and the barrier to entry is lower than most people think. Here is how to actually start.   First, understand what UX/UI design really is UX (user experience) is about how something works and feels to use. UI (user interface) is about how it looks: the colors, buttons, spacing, and typography. A good designer combines both so that an app or website is not only be

And in Cambodia's fast-growing digital economy, the timing has never been better. In this post, we break down exactly how one digital marketing skill can unlock multiple income streams and how you can start learning it in weeks, not years.   What Is Digital Marketing, Really?
