During Megans' time as a Peer Educator, she was able to assist many students with their game development projects in the Unity engine. Her responsibilities included debugging students' code, helping students with repository issues, giving feedback on student projects, and more.

Though it was not her responsibility, Megan created demos for the students to help them better understand assignments that they were struggling with. These demos can be found in the Resume portion of this site in the Unity section. She had also created a video to help students with SourceTree (for repositories). This video can be found below.

As a Community Manager, Megan was responsible for the CEHC (College of Emergency Preparedness, Homeland Security, & Cybersecurity) Game Nights at UAlbany. This position included management of the discord associated with Game Nights as well as supervising the in-person Game Nights held in the Makerspace. Megan had also made promotion materials for Game Nights, networked with other clubs at UAlbany, and spread the word about CEHC Game Nights.

During March, there was an event involving Game Nights that Megan was also in charge of running. The event was related to International Women's Day and all of the board games used in this event were made by Women. Megan created promotional materials (pictured below), learned each game, and ran the board game portion of the event.

This internship dealt primarily with the Makerspace at UAlbany. During this internship, Megan would learn about the structure and uses of emerging technology. The relevant equipment included 3D printers (specifically Prusa printers), the Cricut (including the mug press, iron on, and engravement options), drones, and more.

After being taught this equipment, it was Megans' responsibility to teach students who weren't interns how to use the equipment when they visited the Makerspace. It was also important that each intern be motivated to find solutions to fix these pieces of equipment if they needed repair. In order to do this, Megan and her fellow interns needed to have thorough communication with each other to solve these issues.

Recently, Megan has started to look into volunteering since graduating. The first place Megan has inquired about volunteering is NYCWiC. Megan attended NYCWiC twice while she was in school and thought it would be great to help out a conference that had really impacted her. She believes NYCWiC is an incredible opportunity for students and is excited to help this conference prosper.

Currently, Megan is creating a discord server for NYCWiC to increase student engagement. The server would be an ideal place for students to ask questions, share their NYCWiC experience, and post about projects that they are working on while the conference is not in session. Though Megan has just started her work with NYCWiC, she is looking forward to having more opportunities to help increase visibility and support for women in computing.
