My capstone experience has been a rollercoaster ride! I'm seriously in awe of the projects my cohorts have produced. Thank you to my peers for going on this journey with me! I'm so excited to see what everyone will be doing after graduation, you are all so inspiring!

#ENVIR490 Also if you didn't get an internship that you really wanted, don't feel too down! Your capstone project is really what you make out of it and it'll be an overall happier experience if you think positively and try your best. Best of luck! #POECap

For my internship I worked with Friends of Discovery Park as their Educational Web Media Lead. I archived historical documentation and created content for StoryMap! For my research I conducted a lit. review and interviewed 7 non-profits that work w/ parks. #POEcap

The aim of my project was to answer "What are the opportunities and barriers with urban park organization’s utilizing technology for interpretive material?" #POECap (3/6)

[Gina Pak @ginapak6]

I created this word cloud to sum up the results of what the barriers to utilizing technology were from my interviews. #POEcap (5/6)

[Gina Pak @ginapak6]

Greens spaces like parks provide an exceptional opportunity for learning and many other benefits but there are limitations to what traditional signage can convey. Therefore, utilizing technology can help close this gap. #POECap (1/6)

[Gina Pak @ginapak6]

Some next steps: Partnerships with local government, technology companies, and universities can help overcome the barriers to utilizing technology! But remember that technology is not accessible to everyone. Thanks for listening to my TED Talk. #POEcap (6/6)

Here is an example of some of the technological tools used by interviewed organizations! #POEcap (2/6)

@KleinfingerSam interned with @WASeaGrant, making a 30 minute documentary on how ocean acidification would impact native tribes. What a cool project!!! Keep a look out for her documentary on https://t.co/V8YbAYykoz, it should be coming out this summer! #POECap

[Gina Pak @ginapak6]

From her project she found out that urban areas are more accessible for utilizing public transportation and people's choices usually follow cultural trends. #POECap (2/2)
