I chose to write about this article because it represents something that I would love to get involved in. I am interested in pursuing summer internships in the world of entertainment technology over my time here at CMU. Themed entertainment is a field that I have thought about a lot before because it uses a lot of the same skills that we learn in theater. I found this article helpful because it describes what an internship in theater technology could look like. It seems like something I really want to do and I want to apply for internships similar to it. That being said, I am somewhat concerned about whether I will have the engineering skills that I will need to do well in these internships. It sounds like this company has their interns doing real software development work and I am not going to have those skills until the end of sophomore year at the earliest. Overall this article gave me hope that there are internships that exist in fields I am interested in, but also warned me that I need to be putting in real work to find those internships and that I have a lot still to learn.
