Bassima Sweid, a dedicated participant in Digi YESS program, initially struggled with technological limitations, particularly in areas such as word processing and using email. She recognized these gaps in her digital skills and actively sought ways to transform them into strengths. <\/span><\/p>\n

She was determined to make a meaningful change in her life by acquiring new skills. Bassima aimed to enhance her digital competence, particularly in computer basics, programming, and web design. Furthermore, she understood the importance of improving her ability to use data analysis tools, which were crucial for advancing in her career. <\/span><\/p>\n

Through the program, she learned the ins and outs of computer basics, email, website design, and logo creation. Through team collaboration, she developed her teamwork abilities, and the Design Thinking sessions helped her cultivate a creative problem-solving approach.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bassima\u2019s journey culminated in the creation of her own project, “Octogo,” an app designed to help high school students manage their time and organize their study plans. The app allows students to find suitable tutors, learn in their preferred style, and assess their knowledge through mini quizzes, helping them focus on areas needing improvement. The app was developed using tools like Figma and AI for design purposes, allowing Bassima to apply everything she learned during the program. <\/span><\/p>\n

Reflecting on her personal growth, Bassima now feels more equipped for her future endeavors. She plans to continue developing her technology skills and hopes to empower others by sharing her knowledge. Her goal is to become both a consumer and a creator in technology. <\/span><\/p>\n

Bassima’s Reflection on Her Journey: <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2018The program not only gave me the tools to improve my technical abilities but also helped me grow as a person. It gave me the confidence to take on challenges, adapt to changes, and keep pushing forward. I feel prepared for the future now, and I am excited to keep learning and contributing to the digital world. This journey has truly shaped who I am today, and I\u2019m grateful for the opportunity to be part of it.\u201d <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Bassima\u2019s journey is a testament to the power of education, persistence, and the willingness to embrace change in the face of challenges thanks to the Digi-YESS program and Abdul Aziz Al Ghurair Refugee Education Fund.<\/span><\/p>\n

Her Inspirational Quote:<\/strong> “Make every day an opportunity to be better than you were yesterday.”<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
