“We flew all the way from Beijing to join the Innovation Race and were super excited to see the diverse groupings. We saw students coming out of their comfort zone and trying to face their social awkwardness. They had a great experience working with other groups from schools around the world. Additionally, today we must develop the soft skills and executive skills to work in the AI era, and the groups and tasks that DMA created helped the students to come out and develop those skills. ”
