Are you interested to make an impact through technology? We are back this year with Co-CreATe '20!

What is it? Co-creATe'20 is an immersive three-day, a cross-disciplinary workshop where we train students to apply the Humanistic Co-Design Process to empathize and co-create innovative technological solutions to assist disabled folks who experience the world differently.

This year's workshop is led by Dr. Kyle Keane, Lecturer and Research Scientist at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the staff adviser for MIT's assistive technology hackathon!

Participants with the vision and skill to make an impact using technology and a background in Business/Design/Engineering/Science are eligible to apply.

Finding great resources to learn is hard... Google Search doesn't help since it's the website with the best SEO that wins! Even if I find the resources, where do I keep a sorted list of them? Managing them gets harder every day. There are so many free resources available on the internet made by experts in their field and yet we pay for courses!! Can we solve these problems and make the learning experience better?

Learning does not happen all at once, but it builds upon and is shaped by previous
knowledge. It may be viewed as a process, rather than a collection of factual and procedural knowledge. Here at FnPlus, we try to customize learning for each individual so they can:

- Discover what their learning style is
- Learn faster
- Mix different learning styles
- Have fun learning new things
- Improve everything in their own life

Last week, we conducted a full-day session with Explore ML's facilitators
, Akash M and based on the intermediate track for Google's Program in Chennai office.
