Agora Student Ambassador Program Recap 2021
Murshidul Haqu is a developer community assistant at Agora. Information Security post-graduate student, with a demonstrated history and rich experience in diverse fields including but not limited to Web Development, Internet of Things, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning.
The Agora Student Ambassador Program was formed to identify passionate, like-minded college students to train on the Agora Real-Time Engagement SDK and then to educate fellow students and other developers. The program started in January 2020 with six ambassadors from India. We now have 53 ambassadors worldwide, with almost 650+ registrations–and the program is still growing.
Through a wide range of events, the amazing team of ambassadors have inspired 17000+ developers globally. Each ambassador is given training on using the Agora SDKs and then supported in hosting events, developing projects, writing content, and much more.
“Though this process was not in line with my expertise, I saw it as an opportunity to stretch my potential and broaden my horizons. This experience presented a unique opportunity to learn, make mistakes and re-learn. Throughout the journey, I experienced what I call “Learning by being” and “Learning by doing”, Experiential Learning.” –Snigdha Kanchana
