Today was our third day for E4 Youth. I really liked today because I’ve always been interested in SXSW and how everything works, so the lady that came and talked to us I really enjoyed. As for the video we watched I was already somewhat aware of all the research and logic going into teens […]
Today was interesting! We were put in tough situations that made us think twice as hard. We were given nothing, and had to come up with a product for a certain group of people. I’m looking forward to more of these!
