Today I visited the Purdue University campus and was reminded of the value of my 2 years of experience at BitWise Fellows.  Next year, I am looking to attend Purdue, major in economics, and gain a better overall understanding of the business world.  I'm not sure what the future holds....possibly an MBA or even starting my own business.  One thing I do know is the real-world experience I have gained in my leadership at Fellows has given me a head start on many other first-year college students.  Any internships I might take on during college will seem less intimidating because of the time I have already spent working in the business world.  I am very excited to carry my experience at Fellows over into my study of economics in college.  

For our inaugural blog post we thought we would write a little about ourselves, BitWise Fellows:

So who are the Fellows and what do we do?  We are a small company of high school students that builds Web sites for clients in the Indianapolis area.  No, we’re not superheroes, but our mission is to rid the world of unsightly Web sites while providing high school students with real-world business experience that they can carry into their future careers.  A typical Fellows project involves Web services for small businesses and non-profits who are searching for innovative, yet affordable design.

We bring creativity and a professional touch to each project to meet our clients’ specific Web needs.   Right now we are working on several projects, including Americans for African Adoptions, Kreager Brothers Excavating, and Indianapolis Metropolitan High School.  These sites are scheduled to be completed within the next few months.

Keep checking in for updates! We aren’t yet sure how often we will be posting, but we’ll try to get into a regular posting schedule quickly.
