*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 [[Problem-solving is hard]] [[Making impact is hard]] [[Concluding remarks at SusEd on the fact that student-led projects fail]]
