🤔 Reflection question
What did you learn about publicly sharing your ideas that you will carry with you in your future of work?
Mohima's Answer
This journey was a good learning and growing experience. I was able to think out of the box and ask any doubts or queries I had during the class or during the ctn sessions. we also got to talk to the housing coordinator Sarah Stackhouse which helped us gain more information about the project. There were concepts and ideas we were unaware of but as a team we were able to solve and come up with a prototype.

🤔 Reflection question
After completing CTN, what new awareness do you have for yourself (ME) and your community (WE) and what is one action you might take to continue to explore it?
Mohima's Answer
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.

🤔 Reflection question
How might the prototype & test stage help you with overcoming a fear of failure or challenging your assumptions about what is ‘right’?
Mohima's Answer
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.

🤔 Reflection question
How might you explain the value of you having a systems-thinking mindset when attempting to define and understand a complex problem?

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.

🤔 Reflection question
After learning about how to empathize with the people affected by your SDG’s social issue, how you might apply empathy to working with the members on your CTN Innovation Team?
Mohima's Answer
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.
