Guardhat Inc.High School Intern
Jun. 2021 - Aug. 2021Chicago, Illinois, United StatesDuring the internship, I was tasked with several activities, including conducting
informational interviews with various employees throughout the company to learn about
different functions and brainstorming an original product idea, which I would present to the
organization at the end of my internship. In addition, I participated in
professional development activities and attended daily touchpoints with my supervisor to provide updates on their progress. At the end of the internship, I presented my idea for a product I believed could enhance what Guardhat was offering: a wearable sensor that connected with either of the existing devices to track hydration and fatigue levels through the sweat. This would notify workers if they were overworking themselves and encourage them to take a break and prevent injury.
