El Pimental, Moscow High School/Palouse Pathways Scholars Class of 2022, attends Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, Georgia. Here’s why El thinks Georgia Tech should be on your radar!
A few things I love about Georgia Tech:
An amazing culture of making things: Five makerspaces. Podcast recording studio. Best hackathons ever. Everybody is building a bike or making their short film or something.
Great career prep: Every major has an intro class about careers in your major. You start major-related classes your first semester and graduate with twice as much relevant coursework as other schools. Real-world, project-based classes. Lots of internship and co-op opportunities.
So many great and silly traditions and the sense of community that comes with them: Running the Pi Mile on Pi Day. Stealing T’s from campus signs. Finals week midnight pancakes. Homecoming tricycle race. Genuinely I think hundreds more.
