• If you have not already, for this challenge you will have you creating a professional online digital presence:

1. Create a Google account

2.  Create a YouTube channel

• • • • Add a profile name, thumbnail, & channel description

If you do not already have a portfolio website, please follow the instructions below to get one started, and contact your instructor with any questions/concerns:

1. Create a Portfolio website

   1. We currently recommend using Google Sites - if this is your first time building a website as it is free, quick, and easy to use (if you have other, better recommendation/preferences, please let us know!)

      • Note: To use Google Sites, it does you to have & use a Google Account (hence the previous paragraph)

   2. Edit & Organize your Portfolio website

      • Recommendations from us include:

        • Limited/restricting the amount of personal information you share. For purposes of using this portfolio to network and acquire jobs/promotions, the minimum personal information you would need would be your full name (First Last) and a contact information (professional e-mail, at least)

        • Organize pages for projects by category. Some possible recommendations include:

          • Projects you do outside of school vs. projects you do at school, vs. projects you do at work, etc.

          • Creating separate pages for each course you are taking, and sub-pages for the various projects/challenges you complete

          • Project categories (ex: CAD, CAM, CNC, Mechatronics, Robotics, Welding, etc.)

        • Be Professional. Do not utilize your portfolio website as a rant blog to post about the coffee you got this morning or talk about politics, religion, etc.

        • Make it your own! Add flair, choose different colors/styles, try different layouts, etc.
