Opportunities for students, by students

In this talk, I share how participants of the Game of Learners program (https://www.microsoft.com/MEA/Gameoflearners/) can use their skills and knowledge to make a positive impact on their fellow students and the technical communities around them. I discuss the different ways that participants can get involved, from mentoring and tutoring to organizing hackathons and meetups. I also highlight the work of other students who are using their technical skills to make a difference in the world.

This talk is for anyone who is interested in using their skills to make a positive impact. Whether you are a Game of Learners participant or not, I hope that you will find this talk inspiring and motivating.

Here are some of the key points that I cover in my talk:

- The importance of giving back to your community
- The different ways that you can get involved in your technical community
- The work of other students who are using their technical skills to make a difference

I hope that this talk will inspire you to use your skills to make a positive impact on the world.
