Established on September 1, 2020, Huang Ting was born in a small studio where ambitious dreams took root and a solid foundation was laid. Back then, we were just a few individuals with computers, buzzing with potential and ideas, poised to turn aspirations into reality. During this period, we were busy developing apps like NeedsHelper, designed specifically for students at the university I attended. NeedsHelper aimed to facilitate students helping each other with their errands and tasks, fostering a sense of community and support among peers.

Although Edan Academy is currently closed, our commitment to making a meaningful impact on the world remains steadfast. Throughout our academic journey from 2018 to 2020, our passion for contributing positively to society has been our guiding force. As we look back on these foundational years, we continue to explore new avenues and strategies to fulfill this mission, believing deeply in the transformative power of education and innovation.

In the following year, we made significant progress on RoyalCode, completing it to a substantial extent. Reflecting on our core mission to support education, we swiftly developed HT Tutor—a small app connecting teachers and students for tutoring sessions. With the support of online friends, we dedicated a week to building and launching HT Tutor, attracting a community of enthusiastic users.

However, as we promoted HT Tutor and attempted to raise awareness for RoyalCode, our efforts were met with substantial criticism online due to our lack of experience in marketing. This feedback prompted us to pause and thoroughly reconsider our strategies. In the wake of the criticism and challenges faced, we took a reflective pause to reassess our direction and strategies. This period allowed us to acknowledge the lessons learned, appreciate the support received, and implement improvements across our initiatives. With renewed determination and gratitude for our journey thus far, we are committed to continuous growth and moving forward.
