Last November 24, 2014, GRIDS hosted its first ever Basic Calligraphy Workshop. The workshop was held in Bellarmine Hall and started from 4:30pm-7:30pm, giving the participants plenty of time to hone their skills in the craft.

With the help of the workshop facilitators, Mischel and Isabelle Ocier of the Pencasso Project (Personal Instagram of Mischel: @mgeyo and Official Workshop Instagram: @pencassoproject), the participants were taught how the materials for calligraphy worked and the skills that were required to use them.

Worksheets were given to each participant which gave them an organized but fun way to learn the art form. After an hour or so on the worksheets, each participant was tasked to stylize certain quotes that they brought with them to the workshop to culminate all that they have learned from the program.

Without a doubt, the workshop proved to be a huge success with each participant bringing home some new found information and skill on the beautiful and stylistic art form that is Calligraphy.

Last August 20, GRIDS conducted a partnership workshop with The Computer Society of Ateneo for their Dev Tutorials 2014 series, focusing on web designing.

Last August 4, GRIDS had its First General Assembly to welcome members for the school year 2014-2015, with the theme of "Monopoly". The Core members gave QR ID’s and mini Monopoly money for each. Attendees, then were divided into 6 groups representing each money (1M, 2M, 3M, 4M, 5M and 10M). 

The General Assembly started with Opening Remarks from Sir Martin Villanueva and Sir Glen Lopez to talk about GRIDS as a design organization. Hosts Clara Cayosa and Manel Solsoloy entertained members  with their enthusiasm all throughout the event. Six groups were divided into two to give way for Group Dynamics and Departmental Talks alternately. The three main departments (HR, Admin and Design) were thoroughly discussed for members to know more about the various projects GRIDS has on each. With the three departmental talks, members got a glimpse on which project event they want to be active in. While an icebreaker game called Bumpety Bump -Bump was introduced to help members interact with one another and for them to meet new friends.

Group Dynamics like Your Number’s Up became a game for members to enjoy and test their luck on playing the dice. And another GD called Human Machine tested each of the group’s creativity and leadership skills. The Core was there to participate in every activity and act as facilitators in their respective group.
