What inspired you to make this project?
My inspiration for creating the Mobile Gaming Unit was to take gaming to exciting locations, engage with people on the streets, and generate revenue for advertisers in public spaces.
What are some of the challenges you have encountered and how did you address them?
Overcoming challenges in this journey involved efficient item gathering, meticulous assembly, and disciplined time management. I found that setting small, achievable goals eventually led to significant successes. However, the most significant challenge was often internal, battling self-doubt and questioning whether my path was the right one. The key lesson learned is that persistence and unwavering commitment to your dreams ultimately pave the way for success.
