I was always lost.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s where Alexa comes in. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Programed in Node.js, a version of the programming software JavaScript, Alexa\u2019s knowledge of West Campus ranges from events, locations, department hours of operation and general information about the campus and its administration. The project was originally approved by former West Campus President Roger Ramsammy last school year. <\/span><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gutierrez, a computer science major, first started the project in February 2017 while doing an internship with West Campus Network and Media Services. The department\u2019s manager, Pedro Santos, wanted to create technology that helps the student body. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The duo brainstormed various ideas before they settled on reprogramming an Alexa Echo Dot. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI would call Andres at night and in the summer just to talk about the Alexa,\u201d Santos said. \u201cThat\u2019s how passionate we were about this project.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gutierrez got to personalize a regular off-the-shelf Alexa by instilling it with a skill, a program designed to know information and have pre-programmed answers through lines of coding. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cBecause of Andres, the program was built,\u201d Santos said. \u201cHe\u2019s very hands-on. If you give him a problem, he works tirelessly to solve it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The hardwork has paid off; response to the gadget has been positive.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A live demo was done to launch the Alexa during the Coffee With the President event, where the campus president and faculty meet students over coffee and some light food. They also presented it to the chief innovation officer for MDC, Damian Thorman, when he visited West Campus. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To interact with Alexa, all campus visitors have to say is: \u201cAlexa, ask West&#8230;,\u201d followed by their question.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThey\u2019re fascinated,\u201d Gutierrez said. \u201cThey\u2019re very curious and try to talk to the Alexa just to hear it reply.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Students aren\u2019t the only ones who are impressed. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The project also got Gutierrez recognition from Amazon. They sent him a T-shirt as a gift. The shirt has a technologically deconstructed Amazon Echo Dot on the front and the phrase \u201cAmazon Alexa \/\/ Developer\u201d on the back. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI got it in the mail and for someone that isn\u2019t super involved in voice technology, it\u2019s just a cool reward for the work we\u2019ve done,\u201d Gutierrez said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gutierrez, who hopes to attend Massachusetts Institute of Technology next fall, already has a successor on board to take over the project when he graduates in May. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The anxious understudy is Andres Mota, a West Campus Network and Media Services employee who has been with the department since September 2017.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI\u2019m super nervous, but in a good way,\u201d Mota said. \u201cIt\u2019s going to be my first professional project and I\u2019m eager to start.\u201d<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The trio meets on a weekly basis and continues to develop and refine Alexa\u2019s skills. Eventually, they hope to increase the amount of Alexas<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">at West Campus to three and expand the project to other campuses. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe project is definitely still in its infancy,\u201d Gutierrez said. \u201cIt\u2019s new technology, but it\u2019s nice we all had a part in it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alexa can be found in the main rotunda on the first floor at Miami Dade College West Campus.
