Day four and five - 3rd & 4th August 2017



Day 4 & 5 - A great end to my first week 


If I wasn't doing an internship for Movidius this summer, I would have been left with the options of either 

  1. Do one of your usual holiday ventures
  2. Or you could study, OK no, not studying
This gives me another reason to thank both Teen Turn and Movidius. 
Thank you for not letting the little intern waste her summer break!!

These last two days of my first week in Movidius were all about 3D printing :) 

From fixing the four models on one of the programmes the little intern was using, to setting up the 3D printer herself (She beamed with pride at that moment). Not only were they going to print the 3D model, they were also going to make a timelapse of the progress! 

 OK, I'll admit, the first attempt of recording the printer didn't really work. By that I mean it didn't save any footage, yep, none of that five hour printing *slaps forehead* !
Thankfully they had another 3 attempts to make a timelapse with another 3 models left to print :) 


So RTE was at Movidius.

Can you guess what the little intern was like when she heard this? She may have looked calm and collected on the outside (she hoped), but the way she felt on the inside... That was a whole other story *laughs nervously whilst remembering frequently rubbing her sweaty palms on her jeans, praying she wasn't going to embarrass herself*. 

She didn't mess up!! 
I mean, she did say one silly thing, but that doesn't matter (it's normal, ok?)! Luckily, the little intern was able to generate in her head the fact that the interviewers were just like her, curios about Movidius's latest innovations. 
'Twas pastry Friday at Movidius!
The next few minutes of explaining the projects she was working on during her internship went by so quick, she didn't even remember afterwards what words she jumbled together to make her sentences. 

 As the end of her first week as a teenager in a tech company ends, the little intern becomes once again, incredibly grateful for this opportunity. The oppurtunity Teen Turn gave us teenage girls so that we can experience something not every teen can say they did. 
Ehm, did you see a drone land on someone's hand and take a picture all without using a controller? Hm, didn't think so! 

 Anyways, the little intern is, as I've said before, even more excited for what's to come in her second week as a teenage intern :)

    RTE is preparing a documentary on AI that will air during science week. They came to the office to do some location scouting and to see what tasty robotics and drone demos they could show in the programme

Day nine - 11th August 2017

Day 9 - My last day at Movidius The little intern climbed into the bus and said her silent greetings to the usual, buzzing tourists with their oversized back-packs and cheery atmosphere, avid readers that huddle themselves over their battered but much loved books, and the fellow working people, each from different companies, with their name tags and t-shirts already stating that they're "Ready to help!" even though they're forcefully chugging down their cups of coffee , cautious not to spill the drinks whilst the bus does its jolts and turns. The little intern took her seat and sighed, for today was her last day working in a Tech company as a teenager.  At least she can still brag about the fact that, after today, she  used to have an internship in Movidius! The little intern made her tea, set up her desk and went to retrieve her latest item she 3D printed. This time, a phone holder for when she wants to have her movie nights at her desk with a bowl of ...

Day two - 1st August 2017

Day 2 - Python, not the reptile Should I continue calling myself "the little intern"? I think I will.  After much bragging at home about how she is now working in a tech company, the little intern began her second day at work. She pulled her jacket sleeves on, threw her bag on her back and was on her way.  It would be have been pretty weird if when the little intern was told she was going to be using a programme called python to do her code through, she would have thought of the snake 'python'. Confused as she would have been, soon she would have realised that she was not, in fact, going to work with a reptile that knows coding. Wow, how embarrassing would that be! *silently regrets having this thought actually pop up in her mind, even if it was for just a little while*.  The little intern began to feel like a real coder as the day went by. She learned more and more about how to tell- in the language of code- the programmes she was using to do all ...

Day six and seven - 8th & 9th August 2017

Day 6 & 7 - Am I an adult yet? Do you know what it's like when you tell people that you're free on bank holiday? First they get confused and ask what you mean.  "What do you mean, you're free every day, it's Summer holiday, remember??" "No, no my child" said the little intern whilst patting her dubious friend on the head, " I'm an ' adult '. I have work, everyday ! Today is my free day ! May I repeat, this is because I'm (like) an adult! " "I'm older than you." Let me tell you, people find it weird when they hear this from a teenager. You're also likely to not have anyone believe you.  Anyways, so I started my second week at Movidius on Tuesday :)  First I did my usual trip to the kettle and once I finished making my tea, off I went to work. <- See, at least I sound like an adult, right?  If I haven't already said this (I've mentioned it a thousand times at home alrea...
