At first, I had no idea where to start. I knew I wanted to do something with architecture or engineering. As I was talking to a few of my senior friends who have been through this process before, they introduced me to Ms. Megan Willis; the architectural engineering teacher here at High Tech High Chula Vista. She helped me figure out what I'd like to do and what would be the best fit for me. Ms. Megan put me in contact with Maxine Ward from Studio E Architects and after a few emails back and forward, I confirmed my internship. I will be working with Studio E architects under Maxine Ward's supervision.
We are still in the process of determining the project I will be working on but I hope to get to build a lot of models. Though I have never taken an architectural class, High Tech High Chula Vista is a project- based learning school in which there are opportunity for designing and building products. Of the many products, I have built things from a cardboard chair to a toothpick bridge to a model shelf, a rat trap car, a recycling receptacle, to even a hovercraft but I am still deeply nervous to be building a model for Studio E Architects. What if it is not detailed enough? What if I can't get the scale correct? Are there any architectural regulations that I should know about and take into consideration?
