“As part of the ORIGIN program, I was responsible for watching weekly webinars and submit deliverables related to building a startup. I really appreciated that all of the webinars were consolidated into a single page on Symba and that they were organized by weeks. I was able to watch the videos directly on the platform, switch to a different page, and submit my deliverable there as well. I loved the user interface and it was so useful this summer!”

“I relied on Symba to watch all the webinars and learn new concepts for my remote teams project. Symba's interface is simple and intuitive. It is also well organized so I could always find and load the videos I needed to watch in the correct order, under the "Engage" section. I would recommend Symba as an easy-to-use learning resource for those pursuing internships or other projects."
