Ultra Episode - Teach Kids How To Be Entrepreneurs With Momota Ahmed

The skills that we need to have to excel in our lives aren’t taught in the classrooms.

She happily does this particular cause while working as a Lead Creative for Ultra Education. Discover how she chose a position which entails creating mobile apps over the ideal career path of pursuing a Law career.

There’s nothing more satisfying than seeing a kid be happy and successful because he loves what he is doing. KEY TAKEAWAYS Momota is involved in the creative elements (e.g. marketing and social media) of Ultra Education. Ultra Education aids schools in equipping children with the necessary skills. She’s helping Ultra promote and teach essential life skills to young people through entrepreneurship. Does school kill creativity? Everyone has creativity in them. School’s got significant roles to play. According to Momota, schools should also focus on extra skills like building confidence, team building, interpersonal skills, communication skills, resilience, or learning through failure. Momota Ahmed inspires young people by being an example of someone who has pursued what they love doing. Each will have a different meaning on how they bring to life what they love. Momota did not study creating mobile apps. She didn't know the concepts of UI and UX before. You don't have to be equipped with a degree. You just have to equip yourself with the passion, confidence, and the right skillset. What does raising successful kids mean to Momota? Anyone who has any input with children and young people is to be a guide. It's essential as adults or as parents not to cross the line and be overprotective. Guide them as best as you can.
