<aside> 🚀 I'm excited for you to meet the students! Throughout the year, they've taken a pause going deep into emerging technologies to learn about non-obvious problems in the world like medical errors and maternal mortality. The goal by the end of Activate is for them to find their own projects to "Activate" after TKS is over. See below for the projects they have started to work on over the last few weeks. Students are at different stages, and it's still early days. Think of this as pre-pre-seed, demo-ing the person vs the project. 🤓
