“My favorite seminar was ‘Mind reading with functioning brain imaging: neuroethics and artificial intelligence.’ I love the fact that a machine can actually read someone’s brain and digitalize what they are thinking and dreaming into a video.”

I come from a country where things are corrupt and our government is doing a poor job in handling the situation. In response to this, my friend who attended YYAS came up with an idea. We created a page on WhatsApp and Facebook named Smart Thinkers. Its aim was to build up youth who can think independently, use their skills to build themselves up, and encourage them to become a source of motivation and influence in their respective communities. I hold information sessions in my former school and I preach them the good news of YYGS, encouraging them to apply for the program. The initative was launched on October 13, 2021. I’ve worked through thick and thin to make sure all was going on well in the new WhatsApp group, where interested students come together to learn about YYGS. I know that these students will be the instrument of nature that this world needs for real change to happen.
