Overview

As a Computer Science Ambassador, I contributed to campus programming that helped students see computer science and AI as more than coursework. The work included digital portfolio workshops, admitted student day, high-school panels, MESA competition support, monthly planning, toolkit development, and student outreach.

The problem

Many students need practical bridges between classes and careers: how to present projects, how to prepare for recruiting, how to build confidence, and how to connect with the broader CS/AI community.

My role

I designed activities and games for case/coding events, helped run hackathons end-to-end, led professional workshops, and contributed to the Ambassador Toolkit with slide decks, scripts, templates, and walkthroughs.

Impact

This work created repeatable student-facing programming and helped build a culture where students support each other, share resources, and turn technical learning into visible outcomes.

What I learned

Campus leadership is operational design. Strong communities are built through repeatable formats, clear resources, consistent communication, and people willing to make it easier for others to start.
