Everything was align with the schedule but when Miss Joanne, the person in charge wanted to start the brief introduction about Digi there was a slight delay with the projector. Though delayed, everything ran smoothly and the students were very participative throughout the entire trip.

During the office tour, the student were amazed by the Digi office as it was a very different concept from the other industrial visit that SCSC has organized. The element that was so different was the employees of Digi did not have a fix seat placement and all of them were in a group. The condition of the workplace was also conducive. Many of the participants including the committee themselves was so wowed by Digi that they kept asking question until the schedule was delayed.
