Over the course of 11 weeks, we were presented with a specific client who desired to incorporate augmented reality as part of the experience they offered. While going through an iterative design process, the team designed visuals and developed a functional app for an augmented reality experience. We also created a mobile experience that included image recognition to create a scavenger hunt experience. The program was designed in Adobe XD, and developed in Xcode using Swift. The team also conducted research about augmented reality, and was deeply immersed in user experience research and observations.

### PC Build
Over the course of the summer, I developed a passion for technology, which began to include computers. I desired a workstation level PC. Having no experience with computer building or computer lingo, I started from scratch and began research on what was necessary to fulfill this desire. After researching this, I considered all the parts necessary and the necessities I had for a true workstation. Over winter break during school, I built this PC from the bottom up in 2 days, and learnt a valuable skills. Furthermore, having dual-booted it with Ubuntu and Windows, I hope to learn more about Linux and programming in order to further increase my knowledge. The experience of building a PC was once in a lifetime, and the final outcome was worth the wait and the time.
