AIR Houston

I can’t wait anymore! Earlier this month, two teams from Pop Labs competed in the 4th Annual AIR Houston Competition. The judging has been going on for two weeks, and I still have wait over a week to find out the results at the Awards Banquet next Thursday.

This might not seem that important, especially at this time of year when everyone is getting ready for Thanksgiving and the holidays. However, we spend a lot of time preparing and working together in order to provide non-profits in the Houston community with fully-accessible sites We attend trainings, meet with our non-profits, custom design a site, and then on Rally Day, have eight hours to build a fully-functional, fully-accessible site. While that does not sound that hard, Rally Day (the day of the coding competition) is always intense.

Personally, I am also excited to see the outcome and go to the banquet because I helped conduct the Accessibility 101 training courses for the teams that were competing as well as conducting the Non-Profit Orientation Trainings for the NPOs participating this year. So no matter who wins, I helped them get there ^_^.

Of course, I also want to find out how my team did.

Oh well, time to focus on Thanksgiving and the start of the holiday season. Focus… focus… nope. Didn’t work. Still thinking about AIR. ^_^
