ISLA provides Spanish language programs and cultural immersion opportunities in the Triangle area. During Fall 2023, ISLA hosted a STEM fair targeting Hispanic K-12 students in the area. In preparation for this event, I volunteered to translate technical materials into Spanish. For the event, I created a poster in Spanish to represent NC State Computer Science and provide a robot block-based programming activity using Sphero robots and SAS CodeSnaps.

The North Carolina State Collaborative for Children, Youth, and Families is a non-profit organization that brings together multiple state entities to create a "comprehensive network of community-based services and supports organized to meet the needs of families who are involved with multiple child service agencies, such as child welfare, mental health, schools, juvenile justice and health care". As part of this mission, they provide training to support personnel through a series of online courses. During summer 2023, I volunteered for the NC Collaborative to migrate all online courses from their legacy North Carolina Collaborative Training Institute by setting up a new portal for them running the latest version of Moodle. This gave them control and ownership over the content in order to maintain the courses and keep the material current. As part of this effort, I provided basic training to NC Collaborative management on the administrative use of Moodle.

Two Apache (httpd) 2.4 Docker images configured to serve as NCSU Shibboleth SPs. apacheshib: This image provides an Apache 2.4 server configured as an NCSU Shibboleth SP. You will want to use this image to protect content that you serve directly with this server. apacheshib-proxy: This image extends apacheshib to act as a reverse proxy for other Docker containers. These images are available to all NC State users via a private Docker registry hosted by CSC IT. It is used extensively by Senior Design students who are working on projects with campus stakeholders.
