[marching band music] One hobby that I really

5
00:00:16,180 --> 00:00:20,180
enjoy, I did baton twirling at Howard for about four

6
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:24,210
or five years. I sing at church, I try to do

7
00:00:24,230 --> 00:00:28,270
as much vocal performing as possible. My name is 

8
00:00:28,290 --> 00:00:32,310
Qi'Anne Knox, I am from Howard University. I just completed my first year

9
00:00:32,330 --> 00:00:36,320
as a PhD graduate student in computer science education. 

10
00:00:36,340 --> 00:00:40,330
This summer, I'm working with Code 760 on

11
00:00:40,350 --> 00:00:44,390
their Next-Gen VoIP project, where we're converting all of the

12
00:00:44,410 --> 00:00:48,410
phones from analog lines to VoIP phones, and also with the

13
00:00:48,430 --> 00:00:52,430
Fee-for-Service web application development. My typical day is

14
00:00:52,450 --> 00:00:56,480
spent at the computer. I've been trying to learn the Django environment. 

15
00:00:56,500 --> 00:01:00,540
In high school I was in music and performing arts, but I had a really strong 

16
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:04,570
interest in mathematics. And I got a lot of nudging, "Just go into computer

17
00:01:04,590 --> 00:01:08,580
science, try it out, see if you like, it." So I tried it out. 

18
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:12,590
I am interested in computer science education, and a lot of my background is in designing 

19
00:01:12,610 --> 00:01:16,590
curriculum, so this really ties into, at least the web

20
00:01:16,610 --> 00:01:20,680
application portion, it ties into me being able to design successful 

21
00:01:20,700 --> 00:01:24,710
curriculum in the future. So knowing how to design successful websites, 

22
00:01:24,730 --> 00:01:28,760
and allowing my students to use those sites to submit homework,

23
00:01:28,780 --> 00:01:32,780
and to check their grades in a class. This is giving me good practice and a good

24
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:36,820
step into getting that done. NASA Goddard is a very diverse community 

25
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:40,900
where you're allowed to utilize as many resources as possible to grow 

26
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:44,920
beyond your realms, and also take advantage 

27
00:01:44,940 --> 00:01:48,960
of every opportunity if you choose to. [beep beep...]
