“I liked being able to get exposed to what real programmers or engineers face and learning about the projects they’re studying. I liked touring the labs and seeing the projects [college] students were working on.”
“This program helped me understand that coding and robotics is difficult but not imposible and that given enough practice, I can do something I would’ve never thought of being able to do.”
“[What I liked most about the camp was] seeing different labs and places in SDSU that I might want to be in for the future. Also, it was fun making friends.”
“I learned a lot on coding robots and making games. Also, I learned to persevere through the challenges.”
“What I liked most was the programming in scratch part and the lab visits.”
