The students of the National University of San Marcos (UNMSM) who completed an internship at Harvard University, in the United States, presented innovative projects with a sense of social responsibility that will serve as tools for important changes in Peru.
According to information from Andina News Agency, every year a group of talented students from this university are allowed to travel to Harvard and strengthen their leadership, innovative and research skills.
The projects presented are:
O.l.g.u.i.t.a.
It consists of a database that seeks to help solve emotional problems students can experience from stress, low motivations, sadness, desertion and migraines while studying, which can affect their academic results.
Bike-and
This proposal seeks to provide an alternative to transportation for the community of San Marcos within its campus by having bicycles available in strategic places.
Green Chen

Qale Yawar
