This was followed by a session on “Developing Websites for Universal Acceptance (UA).” Participants learned how to make websites support domain names and email addresses in different languages, including Thai, helping make the Internet more accessible and inclusive for everyone.

The day concluded with a session on “Search Engine Optimization (SEO),” introducing techniques to improve website content and structure so that websites can be more easily found through search engines and reach their intended audiences.

In the morning, participants joined a special activity, “Baengpun: Ancient Tak Recipes,” organized by THNIC Foundation in collaboration with the Tak Senior Citizen Club. The activity provided an opportunity for experienced seniors to share their knowledge of traditional dishes, local desserts, and Tak’s food culture through demonstrations and hands-on activities. It also encouraged intergenerational learning and helped preserve local culinary traditions for future generations.

Participants also practiced collecting information, taking photographs, and creating stories about local food. They will use this content on their group websites to share Tak’s local culinary heritage with a wider audience.

In the afternoon, the “Website Development Hackathon” kicked off. Participants worked in teams to create websites showcasing Tak’s traditional food, desserts, and cultural heritage while also developing personal portfolio websites. The Hackathon allowed them to apply the knowledge and skills gained during the previous three days to create practical and functional websites.

9 – 10 October 2026

Participants continued working on their projects during the “Website Development Hackathon” until the morning of 10 October 2026. They applied the skills and knowledge gained from the training to develop their websites, covering design, content creation, and digital media production while also strengthening their teamwork, planning, and problem-solving skills.

Each team then presented their website to the judging panel, coaches, and fellow participants. The presentations provided an opportunity for participants to showcase their web development skills, share their ideas, and demonstrate their creativity and presentation skills.
