At the encouragement of my academic advisor, Tom Brady, I joined up with a team to compete in the upcoming hackathon held by Charleston’s SPARC. This past month has been busy, trying to find team members, learn new programming skills, keep up with regular class work, and find time to work on art.

I’m excited to learning how to build apps, and to compete. I never imagined a year ago I’d be getting ready to do something like this!
