Why MICRO DIY?

Despite increasing recognition of digital entrepreneurship as a key driver of economic growth and innovation, many young people— particularly women, immigrants, and individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds—face significant barriers to entry. MICRO DIY is designed to address these challenges by providing accessible, flexible, and high-quality learning experiences through digital platforms.
