More about innovation

What did your participation in the program give you?

The Otherwise program has given me a sense of agency and the satisfaction of realizing an original idea, despite some difficulties. He reinforced my self-righteous attitude. I learned how to coordinate a project, how to do research, and how to listen carefully about pains and needs.
