Abstract

Mentoring Youth Through Technology (MYTT) is a nonprofit focused on providing STEM opportunities and mentorship to youth in under-served communities. Over time, the project's focus became more specific and evolved from general software development into making a photo booth with the Raspberry Pi microprocessor. In the beginning of the project, the organization had the intern work on projects involving the interfaces of the Pi (i.e. the GPIO pins) and the camera module. After familiarization with the requisite libraries and hardware, the organization had him work on the design of the booth and implementing it with the Pi Booth library. The intern also added functionality to said library through making a plugin to allow sharing by email. This project also provided opportunities for hands-on experience with creating circuits and working with them. The intern's work benefits MYTT by serving as another example of their positive impact on youth and what they help to make possible.
