I have had a wonderful experience interning at CDIP. Thanks to my kind mentors and who were willing to help me and allowed me to do work that would help them, I have grown as both a student and a person through this experience. In order to better convey my experience, I am going to summarize the work I have been doing at CDIP through a photo essay.
Before you see/read the photo essay, there are some things you should know about how my internship projects were structured. Because CDIP is divided into three main components [data analysis/collection, buoy maintenance and outreach] I did a project with an employee from each one. My 3 main projects are:
1) Outreach. In this project I created informational flyers for the community.
2) Data. For this project I configured a Chronodot clock onto a Beaglebone computer. I am currently working on making a graph for the live updated graph on the Beaglebone's webpage.
3) Maintenance. In this project I helped maintenance buoys in the buoy lab.
My photo essay is reflective of this. Each project in the essay has it's own slideshow of images. I hope you enjoy learning about my internship. Intern at CDIP has been one of the highlights of my High School career.

A Brief Introduction to my Internship
I was lucky enough to work at CDIP at the Scripps Institute of Oceanography (SIO). This program collects wave data from a network of over 60 buoys around the country and then published that information on their website. CDIP is located in the Isaacs Hall building at SIO. This is the view I get to see every day.
Project 1: Outreach
Project 2: Data
Project 3: Maitenance
I Hope You Enjoyed This!
I hope you enjoyed this photo essay! My internship experience at CDIP was wonderful. I learned a lot of new skills ranging from basic Unix to cleaning a buoy. I have a long way to go to be an expert like my mentors but this internship has helped me dip my toes in the water of life as a CDIP employee.
