I'm pretty sure this would be awesome and trip and wouldn't want to forget the entire planning process. Will be documenting them down here. Well, hopefully this would also be of some help to Juniors that would be taking this course in the future.
It was a rather relaxed lesson. All of us knew one another and we were occupied only the right side (don't ask me why) of the room and chit-chatting away!
Prof Ben gave in and gave us a quick introduction to the course, the course objective and gearing us up for the enjoyable & enlightening journey ahead of us, technopreneurs.
One of the biggest surprise was that Prof Ben mentioned we would also be, visiting Japan! Amazing! Two trips in one. More countries, more opportunities to learn more from successful entrepreneurs. Yeah, let's go!
After running through the grading breakdown, we were tasked to choose our own team and choose 2 companies! Jieting's my partner and our initial two (Japanese) companies were Wantedly and Brackets - both of which are amazingly established companies.
After break, we gathered to snap individual photos and a group shot to be uploaded on wiki.
Wiki Editor. Yes, that means making this pretty, alongside with Viet, Rachel and Jieting whom are really pleasant to work with (thus far).
A very simple quote from Prof Ben, "Work hard, but have fun!". Yes, indeed.
The entire atmosphere was filled with fun and laughter, especially with Agurz around, bringing all the HEHE HAHA everywhere. Really looking forward to the trip with all these people. Well, for now, will be working very hard with Jieting to contact companies. Accept us, please! :}
Lots of interesting events took place today. Let's summarise them!
Our seniors (Jocelyn, Wahchun, Melissa, Clinston) were invited to share their experiences in TSM. Some of the biggest takeaways like how much to bring, what to expect when you intern there, and all their internship experiences!
The fun & entertainment + itinerary team did a great job in coming up with a lot of interesting places to visit! But, there's only so much time that we could play with. We eventually had to vote for places.
Jieting, our Finance-in-charge, presented the budget to us. I was the helper for Budget and god, there's really a lot to account for. Thankfully, Jieting was meticulous and got most of the matters settled.
Our amazingly talented designers created in total, 4 logos. We had to settle on one and it was an extremely tough call - everyone of them looks great.
We were advised by Prof Ben to email our companies tactfully and make sure we triple check before sending any emails. Told us to be fast too!
Ok, let's go! Time to contact our companies!
I'm pretty sure this would be awesome and trip and wouldn't want to forget the entire planning process. Will be documenting them down here. Well, hopefully this would also be of some help to Juniors that would be taking this course in the future.
