My Spring Street International School (SSIS) internship will be designing and building a school official website in Chinese (https://ssis.org.cn) with my mentor, Karmen Mallow. Karmen is the Development Coordinator at SSIS, and one of her jobs in the school is running the website.
Spring Street International School (http://www.springstreet.org) is a non-profit school located on San Juan Island with special international students programs, which is why, as a native of China, I am attending the school. Some students and their parents who are from China do not know much English, and it is hard to understand the English website. Therefore, I will build a Chinese website to help Chinese students and their parents know more about the school better before they come.
I am the person who is really interested in science and technology. I have some coding and design experience, and the internship provides the time to learn how to build a website and gives me the opportunity to improve my coding and designing skills. It gives me time to prepare and gather all the resources I need.
In my personal opinion, information technology is that one of most important skills people need to grasp in the future. I hope that I can learn more skills than I already have and enjoy the opportunity of coding that school gives me.
