Pretty recently, after school, Jason and Felix, who are my friends, we went to a Google building in New York City.

Blog #3 – Conducting the Interview
A few weeks ago, me and my dad emailed one of my cousins, who works at the Uber self-driving car department. He said he’d be happy to get interviewed by me, and we could face time each other. He didn’t even want my questions beforehand, which was great, so I could have more time to […]

I had to figure out things like what questions to ask, who should I interview, and thinking of where I should interview the interviewee, or what should I tape the interview with.
