1. I created a presentation introducing what Regent and seagliders are, as well as an simple demonstration of the wing in ground effect aimed towards helping high schoolers understand this new mode of transportation. We also created prototype solutions for problems surrounding the introduction of seagliders to Hawaii. For me, I focused on the lack of energy infrastructure, and provided potential solutions and prototypes to create the energy infrastructure needed.

2. The entire internship was fun and informative. During spring break I enjoyed being challenged to work with a limited amount of motors to build robots. I learned the most from the design and interview process, where I got to interact with problems in creative and unique ways. Our mentor Ian encouraged us to think outside of the box, and always gave insightful feedback everytime we prototyped or discussed something together. The opportunity Ian gave us to repeatedly practice and improve with feedback at using these processes is something that I find even more valuable than simply learning about how to interview and perform human centered design.

1. Working collaboratively with my group, we successfully devised innovative solutions and designs to address one of Seagliders' challenges, which inspired me to create a prototype for safe food storage on Seagliders. Additionally, I prepared a comprehensive presentation, complete with written instructions and visual aids, guiding others on crafting paper Seagliders. 

2. During this internship, I found myself tapping into my creative potential while designing robots, creating slides, and more. Moreover, the collaborative nature of the work encouraged me to enhance my teamwork abilities. Throughout the entire experience, I had the opportunity to refine my critical thinking and time management skills. Overall, I genuinely relished this enriching and enjoyable internship journey. 

Kenan Pedro assisted in creating ideas within the brainstorming process after gaining information from our group interview of a example of a extreme user. He brought a different perspective on the economic feasibility of a Seaglider in Hawai'i and costs of required infrastructure. 

Kenan Pedro was able to learn how to innovate & create products/services that are desired by the largest populous with the use of prototypes, feedback, and asking human centered questions to find creative solutions to existing issues.

1. I was able to work with my group to come up with solutions and designs to solve one of Seagliders' problems which I led me to creating a prototype to create safe food storage on Seagliders. I was also able to create a 45 minute mock workshop/presentation explaining Seagliders to teens and adults with a DIY paper plane that demonstrated the W.I.G phenomenon. 

2. Working in this internship has really improved my creative and design thinking skills while also encouraging me to work in a team and speak out about my ideas and solutions. 

1. During this internship I created robots and went through the design thinking process multiple times in order to produce a presentation on REGENT's seagliders. Working on a small  team, with a single partner, and alone, the design thinking process highlighted the idea of finding a need for a user. 

2. Under the instruction of Ian Kitajima, this internship allowed me to explore a creative, business-like mindset. Being able to freely express ideas with like-minded peers allowed for an inclusive environment which pushed critical thinking skills onto everyone involved. I thoroughly enjoyed learning from our mentor, working with my group, and being able to have lots of fun along the way!
