The first thing I learned is that it's important to take the first step in order to make a big change. I believe that taking this step towards housing for the international student is the first step and me and my team will make sure to continue it by providing all te information they require in order to have a safe and affordable housing.

There are always so many thoughts and questions when we are in a test stage but after that things start to make sense and we learn how to manage it or where to make corrections, it shows us the big picture.

I feel that it's important that everyone is heard in the team. Even when we share our ideas it is important to take everyone's ideas into consideration.THrough active listening, people tend to have a better understanding which generates empathy for others.

System thinking is basically when we start to understand difficult topics and get curious about why it's happening. This helps us understand and look at the big picture and help solve our doubts and problems.

The main thing I realized was that if I am working to help students find good houses and empathize with their problems, I need to start with my surroundings. Working with my teammates helped me understand their points of view and were able to face challenges and come up with solutions together.

The team canvas helped us have a vision as we as a team were able to think about our project and were able to figure out the purpose, expectations, risks, and many other things. By doing this we had a clarity of what has to be done.

This activity was a fun one as we focused on knowing about our environment and our surroundings. I was able to get the clarity of this task which is the connection of self with society.

Awareness among students about housing scams is important and that is what we learned is missing in the community but needed very much. That is why our website will help in spreading awareness. I will continue to spread information about scams for students who are coming to Canada to help them understand the various issues.

We as a team created a website for helping students in finding houses. So the website itself once it was live helped us understand what needs to be done more in the website. Once we have a prototype we are actually able to see our idea grow and that helps in understanding that this is a good thing.

It helped us in creating a supportive environment that helped all the team members getting their own space and how they can express their ideas. Also making sure that none of the team members were interrupted while talking and that there is a proper platform to talk. We also encouraged diverse perspectives.

A system-thinking approach helped us understand all parts of the problems and solve it in a systematic way. This made sure that we covered all parts of the problem and kept asking the question why this is happening to get to the root cause of all the problems.

Understanding the circumstances of each of the team members was important to work with them. It helped me understand what was more important for them personally and how to empathize with them

Prototyping assists in giving ideas a tangible form, and testing provides feedback from users that provides an early indication of failure or success. What it does is provide an idea of whether or not things will work. Accepting feedback allows for some work to be done on the loopholes suggested by those viewing the prototype, which ultimately helps to overcome the fear of failure. It also helps to challenge early assumptions, as after prototyping we are able to determine whether or not these assumptions were correct.

Ideation helps to create many aspects of a given thing. When ideas are developed and heard in the team, it also promotes active listening because doing so allows participants to fully engage with the topic by hearing different points of view from other people. Working on ideation promotes the development of abilities like active listening, which promote brainstorming and productive idea reflection with the team.

"Systems-thinking" makes it simpler to comprehend difficult material and assists in locating any potential knowledge gaps that may be present. The significance of this lies in the fact that it provides assistance to us in our research of the basic causes. In addition, systematic thinking connects the disparate elements of a problem, examines every angle of the concern, and finally contributes to the resolution of issues that are difficult to solve.
