Today was a short day of classes, and we got to leave early for movie night! We had two classes this morning where we more or less finished off our class sessions, and Jessica revealed our groups for our projects. We're working in teams of three or four to design a web app. and now the brainstorming begins...
We got to listen to presentations from students who went to the LEAD program, an engineering program and Berkeley, and they showed us some programs they had written in python in their computer science class. They were only rising juniors and seniors and high school, but some of them looked older than all of we did, haha. We also had another panel, but this time with Google employees. They basically summarized the different positions that Google is hiring right now: what each person does, what skills are needed, what degrees, etc. They described a pretty free-flowing workplace, but with designated tasks and deadlines. It sounds like your office hours are extremely flexible as long as you get done what needs to get done by the deadline.
After our panel, we walked by the giant food and ice cream to pause for pictures.
Here is a picture of Emily and me in front of the giant cupcake! yumm.
And tonight I can finally say that i've seen inception.. people can stop holding their tongue around me (although i already knew some things that were going to happen...) It certainly left me thinking... i can say that for sure! We got back to the dorm later than usual, but still had time to hang out in the lounge and make a 7-11 run. Tomorrow morning we head into San Francisco!
Over and out,
Lynn
