DONAT

Recruitment

Start your journey anew

Membership is open to Grade 11 and 12 students at STI College Ortigas-Cainta. The form takes a couple of minutes, and an administrator reads every application before an email address can sign in.

Membership

What you get, and what the club asks back

The first three are what membership gives you. The last three are what it expects of you, and they are the reason the first three exist.

  • Sessions you build in

    Workshops, code reviews and build nights, run by officers and by members who cleared the subject a term before you did. Each one is meant to end with something on your machine that works.

  • Competitions you enter as a club

    Inter-school competitions, hackathons and the club's own expo. Members hear about slots first and go as a team with officers organising the entry, rather than working out the rules alone the week before.

  • A pass, and a record that stays

    Accepted members get a QR pass in the portal. An officer scans it at the door, so attendance is written as it happens and you can read your own list back whenever you need it.

  • Turn up to what you signed up for

    Places at competitions and workshops are limited, so a no-show is not a private matter — it is somebody else's place. Tell an officer early and it goes to the next person instead.

  • Teach the next batch

    Learn and share is the club's actual operating model, not a slogan on a poster. What a senior member teaches you this term, you are expected to teach someone next term.

  • Read the constitution first

    It is on the About page and it is a short read. It says what the club expects of members and what members can expect of officers — worth knowing before you tick the consent box.

Branches

The three branches

Select your branch directly on the registration form. Under Article IV, Section 2 of the Constitution, each branch represents a core specialization, and the club relies on all three.

Front-end · UI/UX · Graphic Design

Munchkin

Front-end layout artists who practice art, UI/UX, and graphic design. Munchkin crafts how every digital surface and visual asset looks and feels, bringing balance, harmony, and polished aesthetics to club projects.

Analytics · Documentation · Research

Prober

Data analysts who handle analytics, research, event documentation, and organizational records — ensuring data integrity, tracking attendance, and keeping club operations structured.

Back-end · Systems · Architecture

Cipher

Back-end specialists and technical experts who build and maintain club projects, services, and infrastructure — engineering the core systems, databases, and APIs that power DONAT.

How it works

Four steps, in this order

Applying is the one genuinely sequential thing on this site: each step waits on the one before it, and the middle two happen without you.

  1. You fill in the form

    Your full name, STI email address, student number, section, grade level, and sub-branch, then the consent box. A password is optional. Nothing is created when you press submit: what you have sent is an application.

  2. An administrator reviews it

    The application waits as pending until a club administrator accepts or rejects it. There is nothing for you to do at this stage, and the address you gave cannot sign in yet.

  3. Acceptance creates your account

    That is the step that makes the account exist: your email becomes a login, your pass appears in the portal, and a password you set on the form moves across with it.

  4. You sign in with a code

    Ask for a code on the sign-in page and it arrives at your @ortigas-cainta.sti.edu.ph inbox. Every account can sign in this way, with or without a password, so keep access to that inbox.

Two forms

Which application are you sending?

The first step is the same either way. The officer application adds three things, and they are worth having ready before you open it.

Member registration

Join as a member

Five fields and a tick: name, STI email, student number, section and grade level, then the consent box. Leave the password blank unless you want one — an emailed code works either way.

Officer application

Apply for an officer role

Everything the member form asks, plus three things it never does: the role you are applying for, at least 50 characters on why you want it, and an https link to a CV an officer can open. The roles on the form run from event manager and graphic designer to secretary of a branch.

Picking a role says what you are aiming at, not what you get — an administrator still makes that decision when the application is reviewed.
