Hey, it's Mandarin Orange.

Following the first mentoring session of the 2021 Earnest Challenge,

the second round came sooner than expected.

The 2021 Earnest Challenge is a metaverse solution development competition where citizens directly tackle social issues.

With a total prize pool of 100 million KRW, the grand prize winner receives an award from the Minister of Science and ICT or the Chair of the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission.

It was a fairly large-scale project.

Through the mentoring process, I had the opportunity to meet many people even more impressive than myself — a truly meaningful experience.

I shared my know-how, development tips, and presentation advice.

I put a lot of effort into making the mentoring genuinely valuable.

Personally, I hope the team I mentored wins the grand prize.

Even if they don't win, I want everyone to recognize what an incredible team they are.

If any of my mentees happen to see this post,

feel free to reach out anytime.

I'd love to have many more great conversations :)
