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.
