Your favorite part of being on Team PrISUm?
Learning little techniques from upperclassman. Like how to make some code work more reliable or how to reduce noise on a circuit board.
What advice would you have for a student interested in joining PrISUm?
Don’t be afraid to ask questions and get involved in a project. Even if you do some little things (like look over someone’s code or do some soldering) you’re learning something.
