- Augustine Merriska, Co-founder & Director Meta Innovation

"Being a mentor at Markoding is an honor for me. It has become a part of my self-development and an opportunity to contribute to education in Indonesia. Mentoring adolescents has its challenges. Unlike adult learning, we have to create a fun learning environment, to be more practical, especially during this COVID-19 situation where we can only meet online via Zoom. I am fascinated with the ideas from our mentees: simple but has a big vision to solve problems in their community. For example, one of the team was developing apps to help their friends who have disabilities to read. I’m also expanding my network by connecting with other mentors who are software engineers or UI/UX designers."

- Azharie, Software Developer

"I learned so much by being a part of Markoding. From self-development, I improved my public speaking, communication, networking skills, becoming more sensitive with issues around me. In addition, through Markoding, I became a mentor for the first time. It opened many opportunities for me, from becoming a mentor for other programs, getting invited to share my knowledge in some webinars, and improving my soft skills applicable in my workplace. I used to be shy to speak in public, now I’m confident and get used to it. Being a mentor at Markoding has truly changed me for the better."
