To me, SEED Fellows is a truly fruitful and meaningful community. I’ve taken part in events like their film screening and the DSE cheering campaign, which gave me the chance to meet people from different backgrounds who share similar interests. It really helped me expand my social circle. At the same time, this experience helped me understand the true meaning of “community” — that a group of strangers can come together and form a close-knit, supportive network through a shared connection

I believe the greatest takeaway from joining SEED Fellows was expanding my professional network. Even after the course ended, SEED continued to organize various activities for us to participate in. During this time, I had the opportunity to work as a student teaching assistant and, by chance, got to know one of the SEED lecturers, Sam. He gave me a lot of valuable advice regarding both my studies and career, and these experiences have been incredibly helpful to me.

I joined SEED Fellows through the IdeaPOP competition. At the time, I was still in a “nurtured” role, receiving a lot of guidance and support from teachers and mentors. After the competition ended, I wanted to switch roles and become someone who actively gives back—sharing my experiences with new students and offering them help whenever I can.

Being part of the SEED Fellows program has been a valuable opportunity for me. Not only did it allow me to serve as a student teaching assistant, supporting and giving back to junior students but it also gave me a chance to revisit and reinforce my own knowledge. I used to think that studying computer engineering would only lead to programming-related careers. However, my experience as a SEED student TA has opened up new perspectives. I've come to realize that teaching can also be a meaningful and rewarding career path.
