In the College of Liberal Arts, I worked on a project to compare the Roman Empire Colosseum with the current-day Beaver Stadium at Penn State. I started the process of researching the layout & blueprint of the Roman Colosseum, and Beaver Stadium. I then went through and built the Roman Colosseum within SketchUp, to scale. The final product, I used A-Frame to display my Colosseum in VR.
In my work at Teaching & Learning with Technology at Penn State, I built out the process for my team to convert ANGEL courses to Canvas. This started with a Google Form, which fed into a Google Sheet. Once we started this process, we had other inputs from Canvas Liaisons, that came into my designed Google Sheet. I combined the different inputs, pushed the courses to different designers to do the work, and then released those courses back to the faculty members & Canvas Liaisons. The last part of the project was I created a reporting aspect which was then reported to the project sponsors and Vice President & Provost of Penn State.
During my first summer as the Head Lifeguard at River Valley Ranch, I spent my free time developing an Emergency Alert System. I programmed the software side of the system, running on a Raspberry Pi. The project goal was to create a system that could help alert the camp if an emergency was happening. The system would turn on an amp and broadcast the message across several sets of speakers across the Ranch. The system allowed for different messages to be broadcast at the 3 different camps.
