"I would like to thank Huawei for the excellent organization of the program and emphasize their dedication to educating young people. The entire program and Tech4Good contest were truly amazing experiences for me. The experts involved in the various events were extremely competent and excited to share their knowledge, ideas, and experiences. I was also impressed by the positive energy and kindness of other participants who became friends. I am quite sure that we will meet one day on a social or professional occasion. I also had the honor of receiving another award from Huawei, the “Digital Change Maker,” which gives me the opportunity to attend the MWC in Barcelona. The whole experience will always remain in my memory, bringing me a lot of new knowledge and experience.
