I am going into senior year of high school at a local high school, I commute to class everyday. I have always been passionate about programming and more recently developing working on projects such as 3d printed items, Arduino, etc. I first learned about Stanford Summer Session in a letter sent to my address and once I got in this immediately stuck out to me as the class I wanted to take. The freedom to take on whatever project I wanted seemed really cool and working in a small class room closely with other people. Throughout the course I hope to further improve my knowledge of the design process.
