Today we had our last class spent working with Unity. I actually really enjoyed working with Blender and Unity with Kate and Anjali this week because of the creative freedom that we had to explore the platforms, and to learn about what you can do on each of them. It\u2019s crazy to think about how much I’ve already learned here. Before this week, the process of designing, creating, and navigating a 3D virtual environment was so foreign to me.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After lunch, we had some blog\/work time, and then all sat and listened to Alex, Adam, and Kate pitch the deeper dive topics that they\u2019ll be teaching over the next two weeks. The options were 3D printing, machine learning, and XR. I ended up getting XR! All of them had aspects that I would\u2019ve enjoyed, but I was most excited for XR.\u00a0Anjali and Kate are both amazing teachers as well, so I’m really excited to work with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After we got out for the day, Harrison and I hit the gym again for another arm day. The pull up circuit was humbling. I\u2019ll leave it at that.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tonight a few of us are watching Game of Thrones. The past few nights have been quieter here because the work is starting to pick up, but we\u2019re still finding ways to make time to hang out \u2013 especially when it comes to grocery store runs\u2026we really need to coordinate what we need at the store better. It\u2019s to the point where Harrison picked up brioche hamburger buns instead of sliced bread when Rodney asked for brioche bread for sandwiches. <\/p>\n\n\n
