“My daughter has attended several B>Average camps (Robotics, Media Arts, and 3D Printer), and participated as student-mentor for the STEAM camp. She has also participated as part of the R4Robotics team. She has learned many valuable skills, not just engineering-type skills, but also leadership, public speaking, and technical writing. I love the student-leader model of B>, where the kids can come into their first camp knowing nothing about robotics, 3D printing, or anything, then work their way up to be team members and mentors to younger students. Many work as paid camp counselors, and some get paid internships in local labs and companies. [Others] go on to get engineering and Media Arts degrees. I don’t know of any other camp program that acts as a conduit to support tech-loving kids all the way from camper to professional.”
