Thank You, Builders’ Lab Community
And just like that, BUILDERS’ LAB is a wrap.
A huge thank you to everyone who showed up, brought their projects, shared ideas, asked questions, gave feedback, and helped make the room what it was.
To every builder who came ready to learn, build, test, and connect, thank you for being part of our first BUILDERS’ LAB Community DevShop.
A special thank you to our mentors for giving their time, sharing their experience, and offering honest, thoughtful feedback. Your contribution made the session even more valuable.
And of course, thank you to our partners at https://t.me/make_ideeza for making this collaboration possible and helping us create a space where builders could bring their ideas, get feedback, and build alongside others.
This was our first Builders’ Lab, and we’re grateful to everyone who showed up and made it what it was.
We built. We shared. We learned. We connected.
Until the next one.

✨ Our IWD panel was filled with wisdom, resilience, and practical advice for breaking barriers in tech. Here are some highlights from our incredible speakers:
https://www.linkedin.com/in/hermeladubale/ – Tech Recruiter
Hermela emphasized the importance of preparation: build a strong portfolio, practice LeetCode (hard problems count!), craft a standout resume, and always research the company before interviews.
https://www.linkedin.com/in/mastewal-hailemaryam-4ba76b217 – AI/ML Engineer
Her journey showed us the power of consistency and resilience. Coming from another field, she had to learn quickly — proving that determination can bridge any gap.
https://www.linkedin.com/in/kidist-angota-4bb7751a3 – Product Manager
Kidist reminded us that your background doesn’t define your future. Opportunities exist where you build your skills. She also highlighted the art of balancing user needs with business goals in product management.
https://www.linkedin.com/in/kidist-amdu/ – Software Developer
Kidist shared that self-doubt is natural, but looking back at your journey shows how far you’ve come. Her advice: treat AI as your partner, master specific programming language deeply, and don’t spread yourself too thin.
💜 Collective Insight
To break patterns in tech: get involved in a community, find peers to stay accountable, and support each other along the way.
