A Spark to Fire Your Journey
An insight to the helping hands reaching out to the budding engineers to ease their path into the technical community.
To become an engineer is never a simple task. An engineer’s life is itself a struggle. A struggle to complete what they started and to achieve what they loved. For them, a simple idea can be a revolution, a mere thought can be a reality. They create this world from their imagination. Every aspect in human technological evolution had a mark of an engineer on it. Thus, every human being is a creator.
So what if you had an idea of creating something that could help the world? But you don’t have the backup, meaning you don’t have the money or contacts. What if you had an opportunity to develop your idea with all kinds of backups you need? Top international organizations like UNAI have been funding students on platforms like the Millennium fellowship. Here, we’ve tried to explore the various tools and platforms that are available for us to pursue our goals and dreams.
The Millennium Fellowship
Millennium fellowship is a semester long development program funded by United Nations Academic Impact. It helps you to achieve contacts necessary for your view of a better sustainable world. The Millennium Fellowship, which launched in 2013, is a 10 session, semester-long leadership accelerator convening student leaders across universities to improve their student organizations, partnerships, and community impact.
