Testimonials
The field trips and the Arduino boards were my favorite. I learned that there is a lot more to ITS than I had thought, and that there are so many opportunities for the STEM fields.
My favorite part was learning about security systems and the different ways to encrypt information. I learned a lot more about what people in ITS do and what it’s like to be in ITS jobs.
My favorite part of the camp was when we learned about how hacking works!
I expected this camp to be fun and it has been more fun than I expected!
I enjoyed learning about IT opportunities and password cracking.
