Week six was full of stuff to do starting with Saturday when we had to help low income with their phones. If they had a problem, question, or wanted to know about apps. We would help them out in any way. We also attended a job panel with Google, Linkedin, and Jones IT. It was interesting to know they were still figuring out at a young age what they wanted to be.
Monday came around and we had to do data for the Get Connected event that we did. We had to make an excel spreadsheet with all the data handed to us. We started our Tech support shop this week and learned how to work the ticket system.
Tuesday we did a finance training course on how to save money and how to have a plan on our finance goals. It took awhile to make my goal but i found out something that i can work with. we also started our coding class and I'm learning so much on what to do.
Thursday we had a presentation on TechSF and bavc. I wouldn't want to do that but sounds like a great opportunity if it was free. Than we finished what we were doing on our Tech Shop missions.
