Week 2: Empathy

This week we have been working in-depth with our entrepreneurship and empathy skills. During our Monday Professional Development meeting we discussed preparation for public speaking and body language while presenting. We also talked about advertising skills as well. Participants learned about and planned their empathy work to understand the problem their users are facing, and have since been applying it to their work all week.

We discovered that not a lot of people know about the ProX social media platforms. To help fix this problem we are ideating solutions informed by our empathy work. We created surveys to gain a deeper knowledge on what content teens like to see on social media platforms so that we can get out the right content to reach our target audience. Our interns have been gaining confidence in working together to help put forward ideas for their projects for their users.

Here are links from our professional development team as a summery of what we did:
