In 2023, the Technical Writing Team at Hitachi Energy in Kraków participated in District C, a project run by the University of North Carolina Wilmington (UNCW) to inspire the next generation of energy professionals. This project was a perfect storm of teamwork, where the Hitachi Energy employees gave the students the glimpses of the day-to-day experiences of documentation developers. The collaboration provided valuable insights into technical writing, cross-cultural teamwork, and continuous improvement, which makes this story a compelling read for those interested in education, design thinking, or professional development.
