Semester Reflection

May 10, 2021 By Sheryl Long

Spring 2021 Reflection

Today is my last day of work for the semester! I decided not to work during the summer because I feel like I didn’t get much time to work on myself and personal projects this year, this semester was… a lot haha. BUT I am excited to start all my summer projects and go back to the process of applying to countless internships and not hear back from them! Hopefully I can come back to LAITS with more skills and energy during the fall :))

 

Some projects I worked on outside of LAITS this semester:

I helped design and modeled an interactive exbibit for the Stark Center, it’s about two underrepresented weightlifters Tommy Kono and Jane Todd. Here’s a video walk-through of our design:

 

Also me and my friends designed and coded this recycling site for a class this semester, I am pretty proud of it :3
