SGC 2021

At YYGS Connect, I got meet a community of curious learners, all signing on at different times of the day and putting aside the hustle of everyday life to commit to a learning experience unlike any other. Not only did YYGS teach me about the global problems that we are now facing, but it also pushed us to find the solution to these problems.

In a short period of time, my SGC Capstone team members and I created a solution that was aimed at resolving mental health problems. Going forward, I was even more motivated to work on solving these types of issues. Several of my YYGS friends and I started the “Safe For Teens” initiative. We are now working on creating a safe, global place for teens to make their lives happier. I am also a STEM lover and a believer in equal opportunity. Hence, my friends and I started “Code With Passion,” where we are working together to spread free coding content to encourage people around the world to learn programming.
