“I have shared my experiences with coding and using Python to engage students in concepts that are inherently complex. Additionally, the whole-group strategies and classroom management approaches I learned have allowed me to offer guidance to other teachers on effectively running large class sizes while maintaining high levels of student engagement.”

“I shared all about the camp with my colleagues. I shared how the camp helps students identify the demand for careers in national security, AI and engineering.”

“This year was exceptional because we got to bring a Raspberry[Pi] home and I was able to demonstrate it to my students. They were all into the Raspberry[Pi] and wanted to learn more.”

“This camp was an incredibly welcome challenge, and I returned to teaching the following school year feeling inspired and energized. … Overall, this camp was a highly positive and meaningful experience, and I would absolutely welcome the opportunity to participate again.”

“I loved it so much I can't wait for my children to experience it. … [It] makes me aware of all the stuff that my [students] will see in the upcoming years. … These programs not only help … students but help teachers with professional development.”

“I am not sure how to improve the camp, as it is already amazing. I personally would like to stay longer each day.”

“[I liked] computer vision and object detection [most] because that's what my project was about and I trained my own model on my own dataset.”

“I thought the camp was extremely well put together and I learned a lot. The camp was informative and I would recommend it to others.”

“The teacher to student guidance [was great,] specifically with explaining how systems work, why they work, and how to apply them.”

“The guest speakers were my favorite part as they went in depth about their lives in that certain career.”

“Instructors were helpful and encouraged us to apply our knowledge and ideas in the real world, increasing our interest in STEM careers.”
