Building Computers

In college, we were given the task to take apart and rebuild computers that no longer work. Me and my group decided that we could try and make the computers (which haven't been ran in years) work once again. After changing various parts around with what was available to us within college as well as the components from the original tower, we managed to get a computer running with Windows XP and play solitaire. I think that this will be a useful thing to be able to do as it shows that our group thought outside of the box and went one step further than what was asked of us as well as succeeded in our extra task. This also shows that we have extended knowledge of computer systems, their components and how they work as we managed to connect everything where they belonged and get it running perfectly fine as if it was 2005 again when Windows XP was the most recent version of Windows. Overall I feel as though we were successful and the creative thinking we did will translate into new skills which will aid us in our future careers.

Learning 3D

I have recently decided upon myself to start to learn how to 3D model on a computer. I feel that this would be very useful for the career path that I want to take related to games design. I also feel as though I can dedicate myself to learning the programs and eventually producing things that would be of decent quality in time. I am very fascinated in learning 3D modelling as I have a large interest in fantasy designs and art and so learning this would make me able to express this love that I have for the fantasy genre and show off a creative spark and twist on designs as well as find various concepts online that I can work off and create. Learning and understanding this will be very useful if I want to obtain a career in games design as if I get good at designing to the point where I can produce very high quality models, I can put these inside of a portfolio of sorts and request a job in a company that has a job open for modellers.
