I am taking MP451 for 3 credits this semester. This is my third semester taking MP*51, my second semester as a lab director, and my fourth year of COSI involvment. As per usual, my involvement in the labs this year has mostly consisted of workshops, lightning talks, and lab director duties. Here's a succinct summary.

(Attendence ~6) For this workshop, I developed a new skill with which to demonstrate a number of core concepts and prepared a 20-minute presentation going over the basics of Alexa Skill Kit development, including the development of the service behind the skill, and the basics of voice interface design. At least 3 attendants have since developed their own skills.
