Why Virtual TSM?
- What motivates you to join TSM?
Throughout my 5 semesters of studying tech in SMU, participating in hackathons and embarking on internships, I have been given many opportunities to bring certain ideas to fruition through projects, pitch decks, and solutions, which I am very grateful for. However as someone who is always observing their surroundings and reflecting on cause and effect, I have many more pieces of side thoughts and ideas accumulated at the back of my mind, waiting to materialize one day. I therefore started to take an interest in finding ways I could potentially use IT to tackle real world problems, drawing inspiration from documentaries such as Age of A.I., learning about what makes a promising start-up on Shark Tank, and participating in a pitch competition (NES Ground Zero) to experience the more entrepreneurial side of solution formulation. I believe travelling to Silicon Valley where some of the first ever tech firms were incubated, would allow me to discover insights that could widen my horizons regarding what it means to be a technopreneur. Whether it would confirm my beliefs or change my perspectives, I would be equally thankful for the experience.
