Today, four other High Tech High interns and I went through orientation at SPAWAR. We met a few of the different heads of security and safety as well as a few of the people around the compound. We spent quite some time with John Brandes, the "Silly Scientist" as e refers himself as because he has his major in computer science but is still referred to as a scientist. He welcomed us and popped quite a few jokes while we were with him. He is from New York and is really excited to be working with interns this year. I also met with my mentor, Sunil Ramlall and he showed me a few of the projects he has been working on over the years. He went to UC Irvine and UC Berkeley where he graduated and became an electrical engineer. The other interns will be starting a week from now and finishing a week later. We also have to come back and give a presentation on our research r work over the four weeks.
