group presentation with Ryan

Learning is one thing, learning through practice is another. It hits differently.

For this edition of the newsletter, the trainees have received over four presentations from their mentors and Program Lead, covering topics already available on Moodle.

These presentations give trainees the opportunity to ask questions and get clarifications on problems faced while going through a course or working on personal/team projects.

Thanks for reading! Reply any time with feedback or questions.

N:B, Subsequent issues will carry case studies of the trainees. One issue at a time.
