Students are innovators in progress. Many students are more interested in acquiring practical skills instead of studying theories in the classroom. So, we launched the Agora Certificate Program, which provides an outstanding opportunity for university students to gain hands-on experience in RTE technology and software development. After participating in a series of workshops, students receive an official Agora Certificate that acknowledges their new skills.

In November, we were proud to partner with DubsTech, the largest technology student organization at the University of Washington, to launch the pilot Agora Certificate Program. This is what Michelle Wong, president of DubsTech, had to say about the partnership:

'We were really excited when we heard about the Agora Certificate Program-allowing students to learn about the actual coding of the web application and creating their own versions of the project. Our members felt that the series was really interesting and requested a repeat of the workshops in the list of our subsequent events. The workshops were challenging, but with the guidance of the Agora team, our members were able to complete the project with new knowledge and skills for their portfolio. In partnership with Agora, we hope to continue fostering and expanding the tech community in UW!'

After amazing feedback from University of Washington students, we are dedicated to bringing this program to more universities and students in 2021, starting with Princeton University.

If you are interested in bringing this program to your university, please send a request to community@agora.io.
