Many perceive making mistakes as that of a bad thing. For Dr. Resty Collado, he sees it as a stepping stone for growth, a testament to the importance of learning, and for finding a good balance of negative and positive emotions. In his talk, he shares how other possibilities are born out of a single answer, and that sometimes, we get to learn a whole lot more about ourselves from our mistakes. Resty Collado is a member of the Science faculty of Miriam College High School (MCHS) where he has taught Physics since 2006. He is also a part-time faculty of the School of Business, Education, and Arts in the same institution where he teaches quantitative research in education and management of technological innovations. Resty also serves as the Innovation and Technology Support Officer (ITSO) of the Henry Sy, Sr. Innovation Center in the same college, where he co-leads the incubation program of the MC-Technology Business Incubator.A recipient of DOST scholarship for both undergraduate and graduate levels, he has recently completed his dissertation at the University of the Philippines in Diliman for a degree in PhD in Physics Education.Resty is also actively improving his design thinking workshops for teacher designers that was previously granted a PRC-accredited event, and serves as a pathway for a startup funding for MC-TBI’s incubation program.
