I presented twice at the Australian Space Research Conference and developed an online presence called @educatingspace (Instagram ~10k followers). I learnt about Climate Models such as the NASA Goddard Institute of Space Studies ROCKE-3D which utilises Fortran and I manipulated stellar profile data and gained an appreciation for using Mathematical tools for large datasets. Moreover I met some great people passionate about Space Science and Education.
