Though my summer internship was not how I expected it to go due to COVID-19, I was shocked by how much I was able to experience and learn in a purely online environment.<\/span><\/p>\n

My name is Naomi Sachs, and I am a senior Strategic and Corporate Communication major with a double minor in Entrepreneurship and English (concentrating in Creative Writing). This summer I was a marketing intern for UBTECH Robotics, a global AI and humanoid robotics company.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I was never a big STEM kid growing up. I had always struggled in math and science, so I tended to lean towards subjects such as English and Art. Although in the first couple weeks of my internship, I realized STEM and robotics are a lot more interesting and less intimidating than I anticipated.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I worked on several different projects, such as writing blog posts for the company’s Camp:ASPIRE summer program, copywriting for their social media, and researching information about Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) for infographics.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Camp:ASPIRE is a virtual summer camp for kids where they are able to build their skills in coding and engineering with real robotics UKITs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Even though I was not originally familiar with robotics terminology, I learned a lot about UBTECH\u2019s products. I familiarized myself with the company\u2019s UKITs and JIMU robots to get a better understanding of what products they were selling.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Though this was not my first internship, I was UBTECH\u2019s first intern, and I was thoroughly surprised and impressed by how supportive they were. My internship advisor always made sure I had something to do. I was given tasks that made me feel as if I was actually benefiting the company. I was not just assigned boring grunt work.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

One of my favorite things during my internship was managing the social media accounts through Traject Social, Facebook for Business and Tweetdeck. I will be able to take the skills I learned from these programs and apply them in the future.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Working at UBTECH Robotics this summer gave me something to focus on during these difficult times. It was one of the most rewarding and engaging internships I have ever experienced, and I am glad I was able to have this opportunity, even though it was online.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite thinking STEM and robotics was not for me, working at UBTECH has reminded me that it is never too late to learn something new. I am glad I was able to dip my feet into an industry that intimidated me while also being able to develop my marketing skills for future careers. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
