Learning

Projects do not always go according to plan. Sharing what you learned can help you and others plan similar projects in the future. Help the movement learn from your experience by answering the following questions:

What worked well?

Making free internet subscription available made more people to come for the event on day 2 of the event.
Using a universal router for internet made the internet service to be stable since we were able to switch to different service provider when the network was poor.

What did not work so well?

Not providing internet for the participants after the event made after the event engagement to be difficult.

What would you do differently next time?

I will provide free internet subscription on individual devices to encourage participants to continue editing until they finally grasp the importance of contributing.
