I chanced upon Soristic’s volunteer recruitment
poster in one of my school newsletters. I was involved initially in revamping
the website and later on took up an internship project where I worked with
other interns to develop two interactive games about empathy. In the two games,
players must make difficult decisions when presented with everyday scenarios.
My role as an intern was to develop and deploy the
empathy games based on written concepts and graphical illustrations. The
initial versions of the empathy games went through many rounds of internal as
well as pre-release user testing. According to the insights generated from
various players, I made constant updates to ensure that the games evolved to be
educational and fun to play.
I enjoyed the opportunity to work as an intern for
Soristic and was able to practice what I learned as a computer science undergraduate.
Also, the constructive feedback from various stakeholders involved in my
internship project taught me a lot about the user’s perspective of software
development products.
Thank you to everyone at Soristic that made the
internship experience worthwhile and rewarding!
