*based on my personal experience & observations*
The hard truth that we tend to forget is that is most student projects fail. 90% of them never turned out to be working. 9% of them might work, but with only limited or imaginary impact. And I really think we should recognize the fact that making impact is incredibly hard.
It's not just coming up with an idea that sounds cool, makes a presentation, implements it, and boom, change people's lives. It doesn't work that way
