"Why is the platform called How2Nerd?"

Rahin believes the term "nerd" is often misunderstood in this day and age. It is frequently used to insult those who sacrifice their time and plans to improve their education and themselves. Rahin believes education is a gift, and those who work hard to better themselves should be proud. That is exactly why the platform is named How2Nerd. Rahin aims to redefine the term "nerd" from an insult into a privilege that students strive for. The How2Nerd platform was created by Rahin to provide students with a clear roadmap to becoming a nerd.
