OhmNomNom's Weeklies Week 2

As we wrap up our second week here at Mission Techies we are starting to move into learning about tech and getting our feet wet in the fundamentals of HTML and the dis-assembly/reassembly of a desktop computer tower. In both cases organization and preparation were fundamental in keeping the processes simple and clear. Last week we established our values within the program and familiarized ourselves with the mission statement of the Mission Techies program.

I'm optimistic of where the programs will take us in the coming weeks as well as the information and opportunities that we will be exposed to!

My First two weeks as a Mission Techie.

These first two weeks have been great. The first week we learned everything we are going to run into. We have review the CompTIA A+  Certification which is a almost 2,000 page book. The first Friday we meet with Sarah Newell she though us our first elevator pitch that was really helpful to finish our skill chart. Our second week has been we got into coding and hardware, IT WAS AWESOME!!!  Well I still don't understand coding, but I think Ill get better at it in time.
I am really exited to continue with  this program and learn more. I hope all my teammates feel the same way about it.

My first two Weeks at Mission Techies

Thursday, April 28, 2016

Hey fellow Cohorts of Spring 2016,

The first two weeks here as a Mission Techie has been great so far and really interesting because I have learned to create an Elevator pitch, how to present myself, and about Money Mondays. I also refreshed my memory working on our Skill Chart on PowerPoint. Before I joined the program I never thought this would be so much fun and exciting learning about everything. Today we did some hardware and did some coding, the coding I need to work on more but, I'll get it down once I get the hang of it. I can't wait to learn more about coding it seems very exciting and the hardware is pretty fun, it's like an electrical version of LEGOS.

My first two weeks as a Techie. 4/28/2016

My first two weeks as a new Mission Techies student was interesting. I met so many different types of people all wanting the same thing I want. A chance at a better future, a chance to achieve, succeed, and diversify in the IT world. In the short time we got here we have gotten to know and build relationships with one another. We've also learned a lot of the basics of IT such as names and locations of components, how to take apart and reassemble a dell computer tower, an Intro to HTML coding and we had a chance to test out a new class known as "Money Mondays". I'm still feeling as exited as when I first started and am ecstatic to continue the program and see where all of this leads.

Week one as a mission techie was basic. We not only learned the values as a mission techie, but we also added our own little spice to it. I was incredibly amazed as to how many terms from the CompTIA A+ slideshow I have memorized. I am anticipating to learn and memorize many more. The CompTIA A+ exam may be 3 hours long and all the way in San Jose, but best believe I'm definitely looking forward to studying endlessly over the weekend.

As a week two mission techie I can honestly Thursday has been my favorite so far. I am glad i started with the hardware side. Despite being stressed out due to having a difficult time taking my computer apart because my CPU was broken and the optical drive was jammed, i really enjoyed coding. Yaritza was super helpful and inspired me to google more html tags than the ones Susana (I think that is her name) was teaching us. I am looking forward to learning more code.

from a world where i thought i was advance in technology. i understand i have a lot to learn and I'm very exited! from hardware to coding today and i think i get it a little more. i love learning!  i just really good about this program and looking forward to learn more!

My First and second weeks!

My first week was very informal about the program and it got me excited for the future.
My second week started off with me feeling a little nervous because of the presenting of our skill chart but, I pushed through it okay. I had a very great Thursday because of the hardware and coding portion. I really enjoyed both parts of it. I really do look forward to this program.
