On the final day of CTESS, we reported to the Bank of America building to recap on what we had done in the program and present our topics from the Youth Think Tank. Other students offered their criticisms and feedback to our presentation and vice versa. The seminar also told us what to expect in our future and what steps we can take to ensure that it is successful. I had some prior knowledge of this topic because I had been to some workshops that taught me how to ensure that my future is successful.

Seminar 1

During this seminar, we learned about regulations before we start working for someone. There were some exercise like communicating correctly and knowing your surroundings. We had to know things like how long it takes to get from home to work and vice versa as well as what to do when delays or other similar things happen. Some alumni from the program answered any questions we had, so most of us had a good idea of what to do before our first day.

Final Portfolio Reflection

-

The Final Portfolio project is supposed to be the culmination of all our works over the 3 years we've been in Web into one website. This portfolio is supposed to contain all our works from Visual Design all the way to Web Client Programming. To make it more interesting, each of our portfolios had its own style which made it distinct from others. As a result, you can tell whose portfolio you are on based on what you immediately see in front of you. I started building my portfolio slowly during the school year. It went through a few iterations before it became the final product. As it is, I'm happy at how my portfolio came out, it resembles the vision I had for it and contains all my previous works I have done over the years.

During Computer Science Week, Andrew Otto from Wikipedia came in and answered questions from us. One of the questions he answered was regarding Wikipedia's asking for money to keep the site functioning. This is because Wikipedia does not want its audience to be influenced by ads. Otto also spoke of new features that might come to Wikipedia in the near future.

SUNY College Fair

-
Earlier this year, I attended a SUNY College Fair. There were many students and schools at Javitz Center. At the time, I was still considering which college to go to so I was looking around for colleges that have my desired major. My top choice at the time was Stony Brook but I also talked to other colleges about programs they offer. I came out of the Fair with souvenirs and a better idea of what colleges I can go to in the future.
