Hla Hla Win MC/MPA 2016 is on a mission to educate people in the most difficult-to-reach places
HLA HLA WIN MC/MPA 2016 isn’t a morning person. So when the phone rang at 6:30 am on February 1, she groggily knew that something wasn’t right. On the other end of the line was the operations manager at her company, 360ed. Located in Myanmar’s largest city, Yangon, 360ed leverages digital technology such as augmented reality and virtual reality to educate children and teachers across the country and beyond.
