projector allows the presentation of text, audio, graphics, or video. The projector is more entertaining for the participants and improves the likelihood
they will comprehend the topic being discussed. Speakers were used every time an activity is conducted. These aids presentation to be more
comprehensible when faced with a large number of audiences. As one of the most common output device, speakers is use to produce audio output that can
be heard loudly and clearly by the audience. And portable laptops are being used to aid in the presentation of technologies that will be imparted to
the target beneficiaries.
