Almost Done

Activities: Working with our boss and PR to finalize our data stories

Technical Information: OpenDataSoft, HTML

The editing and revising process is still ongoing. This is taking significantly longer than I had initially expected. Its hard to get it all done because when we change something, something else gets messed up. For the most part, the graphs are done, we just need to finalize the colors. The main thing we're still working on is how we're going to divide up the different sections in the most logical manner possible.

I learned that I like to work in small groups rather than by myself. It keeps me motivated and it's simply more fun to collaborate. It would be better to have a little more space; currently all of the interns are in one huge cubicle. It can be quite distracting being so close to everyone. I've also learned that I would like a job where there's a little bit of everything. I've been mostly working on the same thing the whole summer, but every week there's something that I do that is quite different; I always enjoy those tasks.

We entered in our final hours in Naviline and sent our final report in Outlook. This internship was truly all I could ask for. I learned so many things in the ten weeks I was at Cary, both technical and soft skills. I would never have learned how to use programs like SAS VA had I worked somewhere else. The interpersonal skills that I learned were what I felt were the most valuable thing I took from this experience. The data stories group project was an entirely different animal than the group projects in school. Going...
