Joshua Ikeda-Nash is currently a student at Year Up Bay Area in San Francisco. He graduated from MetWest High School and is a product of the Oakland Unified School District. During his time during and after high school Joshua has interned at OTX-West (Oakland Technology Exchange West), OASES, and the Port of Oakland. At OTX-West he gained hands-on experience building computers, managing volunteers, teaching basic computer skills, and setting up computer labs. During his internship at the Port of Oakland Joshua was placed in the Cranes Engineering Department where he learned a bit about electrical system graphs, engineering diagrams, CAD programs, and to always keep a weather eye out for free food. In order to ensure maximum free food he participated in an intern based network that provided notification of possible resources.
At the moment Joshua’s goal is to complete the Year Up program and continue his education in the field of computer technology and science. This goal is largely tied to his main interests in computers and his passion for technology, which has been his main motivation throughout his career in school and college. Joshua’s hobbies include computer games, carnivorous plants, and volunteer work at EBMC (East Bay Meditation Center.) Known affiliations have been with the aforementioned EBMC and the JACL (Japanese American Citizens League.) After graduating from Year Up, Joshua plans to find work in his area of interest and possibly continue his education at a college in order to get a BA.
