Who we are
++++ Learning alone...
+ + +
+ That sparks a lot of memories — days of almost banging my head against the wall, not having + someone + to ask questions when I got stuck, tell my worries to or encourage me when things got tough. + Sadly, that was the situation I found myself in before COVID-19 came. + When you add the complexity of programming to the endless resources that seemed to offer more + confusion than clarity, you will understand why I started feeling frustrated and isolated. + I was just in my second year then and was struggling through a tough Python course. While my + interest in programming was sparked by seeing all the things I could build with it, the journey + felt + overwhelming and I almost gave up.
+ In fact, I think I did...
+ Then, in January 2020, I discovered GDSC UNILAG.
+ It's a space where students can connect, learn, and grow together. I encountered fellow students + who + shared my passion for technology and were always ready to offer support.
+ This newfound community gave me the motivation and comfort to persevere and push forward in my + learning journey. There's always something going on. It's either a workshop, or an event + featuring + industry experts, industrial visits, coding challenges, and hackathons.
+ These activities weren't just designed to equip us with the latest tech skills and + problem-solving + abilities; they also taught us the importance of leadership and teamwork. This journey + transformed + me from being a member to becoming the Lead.
+ Today's landscape reminds me of the challenge I had then in navigating my tech journey, only + that + it's even tougher now. There's AI, ML, blockchain, and Web3—new paradigms keep springing up + daily.
+ It feels like you will fall by the wayside if you don't keep up.
+ The reward lies with going far, and at GDSC UNILAG, we believe that this journey shouldn't be a + solo + mission. We've seen from experience that while you will often go fast going alone, you will only + go + far if you go with others. + This is why we're here to support you every step of the way, from finding the right resources to + seizing opportunities. But it's only possible when you become part of our community dedicated to + collective growth and success in the tech world. You can join us here.
