"Being involved at Markoding is truly an eye-opening experience for me. Seeing the students’ passion for solving problems in their community makes me optimistic about Indonesia’s future. Furthermore, I admire their ideation process. Not only do I have a chance to share my knowledge, but also I learn a lot from the bravery of these students to experiment and grow despite their limitations. Thank you, Markoding, for giving us professionals a platform to contribute, networking with other amazing mentors, and making my weekends and spare time fruitful!"

"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."

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."
