Fortnite Crew Subscription Box Process Book
Expand Epic Games’ “Fortnite Crew” monthly subscription service to incorporate a deluxe edition which will include physical merchandise as opposed to digital merchandise only. This project will help Epic Games create a more mainstream output of physical products and will help simplify the gamers’ search to find and purchase products that are connected with accuracy and quality to the game they enjoy playing. This opportunity is important to me because it allows me to explore my interest in both the gaming industry and the marketing, production, and design field
The effects of a high school curriculum reform on university enrollment and the choice of college major
This paper evaluates the effects of a high school curriculum reform on
students’ probability to enroll at university and to choose Science,
Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) as college major. The reform
that was introduced in one German state increased the degree of difficulty to
graduate from high school by increasing the mandatory instruction time in the
core subjects German, a foreign language, mathematics and natural sciences and
by raising the graduation requirements. Based on administrative data covering
all students, the empirical analysis is carried out by applying a difference-
in-differences model. The results show that the reform increased university
enrollment rates for both gender. With regard to choosing STEM as college
major, we only find a robust positive effect for males

The effects of increasing the standards of the high school curriculum on school dropout
This paper evaluates the effects of a high school curriculum reform that was
introduced in one German state on high school dropout. The reform increased
the standards of the curriculum by reducing the freedom of choice in course
selection (amongst other things) resulting in an increase in the level and the
weekly teaching hours in the subjects German, a foreign language, mathematics
and natural sciences. Using a quasi-experimental evaluation design exploiting
variation across time and states, we identify the reform effect on students’
probability to graduate from high school. The results show that high school
dropout rates have increased for males and females alike. However, the effect
for males vanishes two years after reform implementation, while it remains
persistent for females even after three years
