First discussion point: I read this article mainly due to the pessimism aspect and how to improve this, however, the most interesting takeaway was the marketing strategy!

Esteban Ramirez: I see the same sorts of patterns at my own school, especially when it comes to minimal attendance at events. The card trick is definitely inspiring!

Novianita I: This is an interesting issue that we often forget. When we want to make a change on campus we often focus on the big picture and external part, such as make a hackathon, competitions and other big events. While actually, the most important aspect that triggers students innovation and contribution comes from the belief and idea of the students themselves. Because indeed, when someone already believes that their voice and idea matter, they have freedom to innovate and contribute to their school ecosystem. I really like the idea of this project!!
