Our student's feedback
Ur Planet program has given me the exposure to explore alternative learning through project-based learning, during my time I worked on a prototype that solves food waste I was able to develop it from scratch to a final outcome in 2 weeks with the amazing structure and support through mentoring in the program, it has changed the way I look at learning from rote memorizing to actually doing hands-on work.
