Doing a surgery demo with da Vinci surgical robots at a biomedical science workshop made me want to learn how to program and design technology.
Intro to Physics
Fluids and Thermodynamics
So far, I am proud of a medical AR project my teammates and I made at because of how challenging it was to create such a unique program.
That AR program projects virtual internal organs onto a targeted t-shirt design. It really looks like you are looking inside someone's body.
✶ Join another professional association to meet new people in my field.
✶ Introduce myself to people I never talk with and who are outside my field of study.
I think the biggest challenge I have faced as a computer science student so far is overcoming the feeling of loneliness.
So far, I still do not have any female computer science friends.
It took a while for me to make friends from my STEM classes because I was slowly building up the courage to approach guys. (Yes, most of them did not approach me.)
I am so grateful for the many friends I am surrounded with. Whenever I am with them, they make me feel less lonely and are super supportive of my endeavors.
Enjoy (college) activities and opportunities that are outside your computer classes.
(Bonus: Enjoy non-computer courses, too.)
Computer science is so beneficial for anything and everything.
Join a book club and talk about sci-fi. Enter a business competition with tech ideas. Design a website for a club you love. Work at your college's design center. Create a program for environmental protection.
Programming is not just about typing.
Exposing yourself to STEM and non-STEM things will help shape you into an innovative thinker - someone who can analyze (overlooked) problems and come up with effective solutions.
