The first two weeks

My name is Joao Vinicius and I study mechanical engineering at the Federal University of Paraiba. I came to the United States as an exchange student to The Ohio State University last year and now I came to San Jose State University to do a summer research.

I arrived at SJSU two weeks ago and I am working on the Spartan Superway. Despite the short time, I can already feel that my stay here in San Jose will be full of learning and fun. In this period, I helped students with their activities for the Maker Faire and I am collecting information to help other Brazilians who will come in the next days.

I'm excited about what's to come and the challenges of this project. Let's work!
