#PeoriaMETTech had #FBLA officer training. We did some fun activities to get to know #PeoriaMET’s #HOSA and #SkillsUSA officers. I learned the important core values of a team, the difference between a boss and a leader, and the roles that each officer plays.

Peoria’s Heritage #STEAM night went amazing! #PeoriaMETTech’s binary keychain activity was a success and the kids loved it! The other strands at #PeoriaMET were also there. From what I saw, it seems that everyone had a great turnout.

Today, Workshop Wednesday was ran by #PeoriaMET second years. We collaborated to create a presentation teaching the first years about #Agile. From the feedback we got, it seems they enjoyed the content and the activity. I’m glad we had the opportunity to teach them #PeoriaMETTech

Today, me and @L_Graham_MET worked on setting up our activity for Heritage Elementary’s #STEAM Night. We are having the kids make their own binary keychain with their name’s initial. #PeoriaMET #PeoriaMETTech

I’m back to #PeoriaMET and Sunrise. It’s my first full week, and we’ve done a lot already. I helped lead a fashion show to help the first-years understand the proper MET attire. I also got elected as Vice President of #PeoriaMETTech’s #FBLA club!

I managed to finally fix up the issues in the code of our EPICS project. I finally managed to complete the full version of our code. All that's left is soldering everything together and bringing it to our stakeholder! #PeoriaMET #PeoriaMETTech

I watched an intriguing #TedTalk on time management by Laura Vanderkam. She talks about how time is a subjective choice based on your priorities. She described a couple ways to make the most out of your time in a 168-hour week. #PeoriaMET #PeoriaMETTech

Learning how to communicate to solve a problem is an essential skill to have! It’s sick that these students are experiencing this so earlier is amazing. #PeoriaMET #PeoriaMETTech

For Students Helping Students this week, we taught an activity where the kids had to stack cups using rubber bands and string! #PeoriaMET #PeoriaMETENG

We had some amazing #TedTalks yesterday. It’s definitely a lot different presenting on stage with a mic. Unfortunately, I still needed more practice being on stage but I’m definitely a lot more comfortable now. #PeoriaMET #PeoriaMETTech

I passed my Windows certification for the Testout program! It was interesting to learn the basics of being a Windows Admin. I think what stuck out to me the most was learning how companies are able to control and monitor everything that occurs. #PeoriaMET #PeoriaMETTech

We went to @ASUEngineering for the EPICs competition. We did admirably but unfortunately did not win. Our next goal is to have our project implemented by May 13th. #PeoriaMET #PeoriaMETTech #ASU #ASUEngineering

Today was the last day of our internship! It has been an amazing opportunity to work with the districts IMT department. I learned the process of troubleshooting and repairing hardware. I’m hoping to be accepted into their summer internship. #PeoriaMET #PeoriaMETTech
