Hello Team 7. Thank you very much for the updates. Tackling waste management and over usage of of plastics are indeed big challenges. Have you managed to speak to anyone in Indonesia who are currently working on waste management area or in waster management industry?

Yes, Hassan. One of our team is Indonesian and he also work on this industry so he know a lot of people to be contacted.

Hello Team 7. Yes indeed, we are surrounded by plastics overwhelmingly and you certainly have a huge challenge on your hand. Good luck! We need to find a solution and hopefully people can depend less on plastics that brings convenience. Goos luck Team 7. Keep it up!

Is there anything on too much research? Certainly we need more primary data and deep research. It is easier if we have one problem focus. We are trying to narrow down our focus on environmental problems but it is really challenging so far.

Glad to hear your thoughts as always :)

We finally submit our report, slide desk and pitch video last week. We also have 2 problems that we want to work on. This upcoming few weeks we will focus on narrowing the problems and finding possible solutions. Stay tuned!

Hello Team 7. Another week of wonderful work. Well done! Yoi have 2 interesting project areas to consider - (1) Plastic pollution and (2) Food waste. Two very current and important issues faced by the society. Wishing you all best of luck in your research and preparations! It is really good to hear that you are honest in sharing the challenges or difficulties that you face, such as when Leo talks about how difficult it is for him to keep on repeating and practising narratinng the pitch. The interesting thing is that when you repeat and practise your pitch a lot, and under pressure, it pushes you to look into the potential weaknesses of your pitch and business model. It helps you to improve the chance of success for your project. Good luck to all your wondrful efforts. Looking forward to more updates in the near future.

We finally created our schedule for April and narrow down our focus into over consumption so we need to do a lot of research. This first week of April we will also be very busy to create report and slide desk.

Great to see your updates for your work this week and your plan for the month of April. Good luck in your efforts!

In this second video journal of our projects, we work together to strengthen our communication by having one on one session separately. We talked about our life, passions, ideas, basically anything. We also finished our module 1 and looking forward to do more research on environmental problem.

Great to see yall working closer with each other :)

Great Job! I am really glad to see progress :)
