Meet Alex, a 20-year-old second-year engineering student at the University of Waterloo. Balancing his heavy coursework with a passion for hands-on projects, he thrives in practical environments where he can apply his knowledge. While he feels confident about his final exam, especially since it's less theoretical this term, he often finds himself hoping that his professors will take it easy as they navigate teaching for the first time. Outside of classes, Alex enjoys tinkering with electronics and dreams of starting his own tech startup.
