Practical Field Lab

"I was part of the Practical Field Labs which was an enriching experience. I was actively involved in the water quality monitoring system, where we worked closely with field subject experts on the ground to address some of their most pressing challenges. The experience sharpened my problem-solving skills and taught me how to approach technical issues professionally in a collaborative and dynamic environment."
