WEEK 8 (July 23-27th) – Last week

I truly can not believe that my internship as a Digital Technology Fellow is almost over – this Friday will be my last day. I feel as though I just arrived on campus for this internship! What will I do when I return home and am no longer spending most of my days at The Hub in West Building?

The Final presentations went very well! Despite the fact that it was raining, there was a nice crowd that came to listen to our presentations. I was very proud to present my project to everyone! The other DTSF fellows and I spent many hours with Director Remy rehearsing and perfect our presentations. I’m very glad that those hours paid off! Because the camera in the lyceum room was having a view technological issues, I rerecording my speech so that my family back home could also watch me present. An entire version of my speech is posted online!

This summer I accomplished my goal of earning my FAA license as well as creating photogrammetry models and using a CNC machine to create wooden replicas of the models. I am even working with Gettysburg College on emergency protocol and flood management which was my stretch goal! However, I did not get to use the total station to double check my elevation levels as planned but that is completely okay!

It is very bittersweet to say that my summer as a DTSF intern is almost over. However, I am more that greatful for the tremendous opportunities it has provided for me as well as the connections I have built with so many fantastic, experienced individuals. I will strive to continue working with photogrammetry and digital media whenever possible as I continue my environmental science concentration in GIS and my minor in computer science!

I would like to extend a sincere thank you to Director Remy as well as the I.T Department for allowing me to have this phenomenal opportunity. I would also like to extend a special thank you for Hoang, Orrin, and Tyler for working so closely with me and helping to make this such a wonderful, positive experience. Thank you! This experience was definitely one to remember!

Do great work!
