Techbridge Alumna in the Classroom

 

This spring Techbridge alumna, Amily He, came to Lincoln Elementary School as a role model to help build K'NEX bridges.  She talked about her experiences at Harvard, the projects she enjoyed while in Techbridge at Skyline high school, her love of ice cream and the importance of internships.

"I believe that if you are interning at a company you are excited about, you work hard and take initiative, you ask good questions and are constantly thinking better ways to solve problems, people will recognize you and appreciate you."
