Isis Harbin – McClymonds High School
“During this internship I learned how to be confident in myself and my ideas. I learned how to appreciate where I came from and take any opportunity that I am interested in.” Isis worked on the “Ultra Walking System” multi-sensored walking stick.
Jabari Murray – Oakland Technical High School
“I love this internship because I actually understand technology now. I joined because I really didn’t see how computer science and technology would be the future, but from this internship I learned that technology isn’t just a machine, it’s a creation from a collaboration of people that identified a problem and fixed it through making technology with computing.” Jabari helped create the “Statometer” exercise tracker.
