Overview
Working on some kind of project, most often having discussions with a coworker working on the same project and doing computational work either in grasshopper/rhino or creating scripts etc in python or c#.
Skills
I´ve learnt programming in both C# and python and have really developed my skills in both grasshopper and rhino, including plugins such as honeybee and ladybug. This will be incredibly helpful in my continued studies and worklife. Overall I feel like I´ve developed a lot of different skills in different areas, such as explaining my thoughts in a constructive way for my coworkers and developing my collaborating skills.
Responsibilities
Yes, a lot but at the same time there was always someone there to rely on with questions or if I was unsure about anything.
Support & Guidance
Daily, or whenever I needed it.
Culture
Very welcoming and I was never afraid of asking a senior colleague for advice or help. They made it easy to fit in and get to know people through everyday interactions or through socials organised by the YEF.
Your Impressions
I really enjoyed and would love to do it again. 10/10
Yes
To join as much social events as possible, it´s great fun
