CTP Skill Center

Today began with researching Mechanics Bank for our mock interviews on Thursday. Then I worked on my Interview Q&A’s. We then reviewed and practiced our answers. Concluded with the CTT Self Assessment.

Today I was working on the lab to build a PC. One was for a basic office computer and the other was a virtualization lab computer. I went over budget for the virtualization computer so that I will have to use cheaper products. The basic computer was fun to build with the specifications.

Today is my first day back, and I’m grateful to be here! I started with job postings for the students, and after meeting with Carrie, I resumed work on the ERG Outreach project. I’m still a bit rusty (I forgot to clock in on Homebase!), but I’m ready to resume regular duties next week!

Today, I presented my tech article on applications of AI in scientific fields, highlighting key innovations and impacts. Following that, I continued work on the Remote Connectivity Lab, refining tools and setup. Later, I researched various components to design a custom-built PC tailored for small office needs and virtualization lab use, focusing on optimal parts for performance and budget.

Shared a tech article. Finished up the Build a PC for a Purpose lab and began next week’s pre-lab.

I worked on Electives – Choose  and i choosed Promotional Flyer for and Company/Job Research. I tipped for 15 min. I learned to setup a meeting on zoom.

Today I started my new job of Alumni Outreach and it was pretty good

PCPartPicker is one of my favorite tools—it’s the site I used to build both the PC my partner uses and the one I’m typing on right now. Today, we explored how to use this platform for business purposes, specifically for estimating costs of PCs we might use in our projects. In the latter half of the day, I received some constructive feedback on my work so far, which I truly appreciated.

Today started with tech articles. We continued with the Building a PC for a Purpose Lab. We shared if we have ever wanted/built a computer before. That is how we ended the day.

Today’s class we became acquainted with setting up Zoom meetings and inviting one another. There is something new to learn daily, which keeps the class interesting and challenging.
