I hope you are all having a wonderful day! I just wanted to know if you guys considered this to be an impressive EC.
Details: During the summer before I started my freshman year of college, I started working in a research lab. One of my first "independent" projects was to program an inverted microscope, an imaging system, and a femtosecond laser using LabView and Matlab to analyze and optoporate stem cells in microfluidic devices . I learned a lot of LabView that summer and even took and passed a certification exam that classified me as a "Certified LabView Associate Developer". Once school started, I booked a private room every week in a engineering building and started teaching research applications of LabView programming to both undergraduate and graduate students (~30 people). Fortunately, my efforts were recognized by National Instruments (Fortune Top 100 Company). They called me up and offered to fully fund (>$5,000) and sponsor my class by providing updated LabView Programming editions, and also provide Data Acquisition devices, and some other stuff . I was hired as a paid NI employee was assigned to teach a more structured class that involved more application based training. I'll also proctor the CLAD exam at the end of the training session for students who want to earn certification. Currently, I'm a 2nd semester freshman, but I'm willing to continue doing this for the next 3 years. By the way, the time commitment is 4 hrs/week.
Do you guys think Adcoms would recognize this as an extremely impressive EC?
Thanks. I apologize if this post came off as bragging.
