š Meet the crew member of āOpportunity Goldā from NCAS 2024: šIsaac Lee āHi Iām Isaac! Iām pursuing a computer engineering degree and am transferring this Fall to University of California Riverside. I joined NCAS because I want to work with STEM peers and simulate what it would be like to work on a mission. Iāve been learning how to code independently and through my courses Iām taking at college. I have an interest in robotics and am teaching myself how to code Arduino projects. Iād like to one day work on the robots that NASA sends out into space.ā #NCAS #NCAS2024 #MUREP #OpportunityGold #GoldilocksRover
š Meet the crew member of āOpportunity Goldā from NCAS 2024: š Victoria Lopez-Villa āHello, my name is Victoria Lopez-Villa and I am completing an Associateās degree in Computer Engineering at Southwestern Community College in San Diego, California. I came to NCAS because I am interested in a career in systems engineering where I can be part of the design, development, and implementation of operating systems. I have been part of a variety of hands-on projects such as website development, automotive electrical systems integration, and Arduino multi-sensor projects. This coming summer I will be interning at NIWC Pacific as part of their internship program. As I am just getting started, I want to continue learning and absorbing as much knowledge in the world of computation. I am always excited to learn from others!ā #NCAS #NCAS2024 #MUREP #OpportunityGold #GoldilocksRover
š Meet the crew member of āOpportunity Goldā from NCAS 2024: š Ryan Lin āHi everyone, Iām Ryan Lin, and I aspire to complete my bachelorās degree in computer science and engineering at UCLA, which is in Los Angeles, California. Iām currently studying at Mt. San Jacinto College, and I came to NCAS because I am interested in a career in the computer engineering field. I have been involved in my schoolās Computer Science Club, where we engaged in discussions on computing, technology, and programming theory.
