Week 12

 Hello readers! I apologize but I don't have an update for this week as I had to miss my internship on Wednesday. I needed to take me dog to the vet.

Thanks in advance for understanding.

Summer week 12

 Hello, readers! Welcome to my final blog post about my summer internship at the Brevard Veterans Memorial Center (BVMC). It's hard to believe that the summer is already over and my time here has come to a close. This week, Eric and I had the opportunity to present our work at the internship showcase. It was a great way to cap off the summer and share all the progress we've made with our 3D digitization project. I am so grateful for the chance to have worked at the BVMC and to have learned so much about museum technology and preservation. Working with Eric has been a fantastic experience, and I'm thankful for his mentorship and for giving me a glimpse into what graduate school life is like. This internship has provided me with invaluable skills, from using high-tech scanners like the Artec Spider to more accessible methods like the KIRI mobile app. I've also gained experience with large-scale scanners at the University of Central Florida , and learned about community-fo...

Summer Week 10

 Hello, readers! Welcome to my Week 10 update on my summer internship at the Brevard Veterans Memorial Center (BVMC). This week was a bit shorter for me as I had to leave early to register for the SURF showcase. Despite the abbreviated schedule, I continued to assist with the 3D scanning of various objects in the collection. One of the most notable items we scanned was a helmet worn by the Fedayeen Saddam. The Fedayeen Saddam was a paramilitary organization loyal to Saddam Hussein's government in Iraq. Established in 1995 by Saddam's eldest son, Uday Hussein, the group was tasked with various roles, including suppressing dissent, enforcing internal security, and acting as a propaganda tool. They were known for their distinctive black uniforms and reliance on unconventional tactics during conflicts, particularly in the lead-up to and during the 2003 invasion of Iraq. The organization gained a reputation for brutality and fanaticism, playing a significant, albeit often controvers...

Summer Week 6

 Hello, readers! Welcome back for my week six update on my summer internship at the Brevard Veterans Memorial Center (BVMC). This week was a little different, as I had a brief training session on 3D scanning with Dr. Giroux at the University of Central Florida. Unfortunately, our time was cut short due to some technical difficulties with the equipment. I also spent some time this week creating a write-up to accompany the 3D models of the trench art we scanned last week. You can read that description below. "The practice of creating trench art is as old as military conflict itself, but it was World War I that truly defined it, giving the pastime its name and, through technological change, its most classic material, the brass cartridge. Later, the mechanized nature of World War II provided soldiers with greater access to the tools and materials needed to produce these items in greater variety and quantity. Servicemembers transformed materials like spent artillery shells, bullets, an...
