” This was my third time participating in the TU20 Cup, although this year was different. With the cup being moved to an online format, there was some concern that the experience would be different this year, but those concerns were allayed as I was still able to gain the same experience as every other year. I was still able to meet new people, work with amazing mentors & friends, and learn a variety of skills through the participating cup. “
“My experience with TU20 was novel and interesting, as it pushed me to work on new things I had no prior experience with, such as creating a wireframe and prototyping. Throughout the TU20 Cup, I had to think from many different perspectives of users, administrators, business partners, investors, and more. All in all, I learnt to pace my work, create refined products that appealed to customers and approach a situation from a business perspective. “
