    Building Your Own PC – Episode 6

    D I Y… do it yourself, but not the usual household repairs and home improvements. We’re taking about computers - configuring and building our own PCs… why do we do it, what are the benefits, plus the we’ll give you ideas on how to steer clear of the many pitfalls and challenges. Just about everyone needs a computer, but they can get rather expensive, so we’ll talk about how building your own PC can give you flexibility and the best of both worlds in terms of capabilities and price. Not everyone knows how to go about building a computer, and not everyone even wants to learn. That’s where tech-savvy students come in! We’ll talk about how we’ve provided guidance to friends and family on how they choose the components for their build, how we’ve actually built PCs for others. You’re welcome, Grandpa!

    Internships – Episode 5

    Internships: the options, the benefits, the challenges, the overall experience, and how to set yourself up for a successful future. I’ll share with you my recent experience doing a technology-focused internship in a corporate environment this past summer, and we’ll talk with both my supervisor there and one of my fellow interns. You’ll learn a lot from hearing about internships from these different perspectives, and we’ll discuss how internships benefit the student prepping for college and a professional career, and what the host companies get out of the arrangement. Not everyone plans to go to college. Not everyone has the same advantages during high school. We will talk about how to navigate pursuing your own unique passions, whatever they might be, and whatever your situation, and the various internships and other programs that can help you, the student, get where you want to go. We’ll hear inspiring stories you won’t want to miss! And how do you best take advantage of any opportunities once they actually come your way? We’ll talk about how to set yourself apart, and how just about any student can make a difference in a professional environment.
