HP Mentorship Project

As we all know, the HP three-month-long Mentorship Project has officially come to an end, after 11 Malaysian mentees, under the guidance of three industry professionals, have finalized and released their NFTs.
The HP Mentorship was done completely online, therefore naturally the first difficulty here was scheduling the online lessons, as the mentors and mentees were located all around Malaysia, with most of the mentees being students, and one of them living in Sabah. However, thanks to their never-ending creativity and cutting-edge HP laptops, everyone managed to create their NFTs, which for singer and songwriter mentor Zee Avi, was truly an exciting and new experience for her, as she was able to make her own NFTs so soon after just learning about it.

The online singing and songwriting lessons were conducted twice a week, often in the afternoon and in the evening, with mentor Zee trying her best to be fully prepared for her mentees, supporting them in anything they needed, which included hours on Zoom calls to connect better with her mentees, where they listened to music for inspiration, and wrote down any ideas and notes on their HP devices.
For mentor Zee Avi, the most important thing to teach her mentees was the importance of collaboration with others, as she believes that teamwork truly makes the dream work, thus why her favourite part during the HP Mentorship Project was the ability to work closely with her fellow mentors and all the creative mentees, where everyone was able to create lifelong friendships with each other.

According to mentee Jason Cheong, having Zee Avi as a mentor was an amazing experience as not only is she one of his ultimate musical idols, but she also made sure to create a safe and inclusive space for all the mentees to freely express themselves creatively.
In regards to any problems faced by the mentee, Jason&rsquo;s biggest difficulty during the HP Mentorship Project was the fact that he was situated in Sabah while others were in KL, however what initially was a worry for Jason, soon enough became an easy task to solve, all thanks to today&rsquo;s technology, specifically with his HP Spectre x 360, which enabled him to easily collaborate online with others, allowing him to remotely record his vocals and create the song together with his mentor.
Creating NFTs with HP&nbsp;
Like many of us, we often get excited when we discover special features on our tech devices, and that was exactly how Jason felt when he found out that that the HP laptop could easily fold, allowing the song-writing mentee to enjoy and make full use of the 2-in-1 laptop's flexibility and portability, along with its' large and vibrant 2:3 screen which helps him during his performances.

However, things were not as easy as it seems, as the mentee initially found it difficult to conceptualise the track that would be paired with the NFTs due to the differences in how each songwriter created their music, but in spite of that, all the mentees were able to overcome the obstacles thanks to their mentor Zee who helped come up with the lyrics and the storytelling, and with a concept in mind, all mentees began to find inspiration on their HP laptops, often taking notes on the HP Spectre x 360&rsquo;s touchscreen, listening to their favourite dreamy music, and looking at images and videos of nudibranchs living in Malaysian waters.
Once again, this remote mentorship would have not been possible without having the amazing opportunity to work with cutting-edge HP laptops, which have allowed all participants to work closely with other talented mentees and respected professionals to create new forms of art.&nbsp;
Looking forward to seeing many more young Malaysians push their creative boundaries with the help of HP&rsquo;s thoughtfully designed laptops. &nbsp;Do share your thoughts and let us know in the comments.
