In Fall of 23, our students had yet another opportunity to be mentored by teams from The Mill NY. “Team Mountain” included Zach Jantz, Yeona Choi, Dee Divikaran, and Mateo Solarzano. Whimsical project captured the attention of our mentors while they worked to also keep it “based in reality”. The team worked well together while managing their other coursework, jobs, and life in general.

Many thanks to all of our mentors on this project!
