Parent“My SHINE experience has reinforced my interest in STEM specifically electrical engineering being able to learn about theoretical principles in electromagnetics and being able to apply them to a real-life model was very intriguing.”
SHINE
Student“I would highly recommend the BOTS program to colleagues. Computer Science has always been something I have been interested in and I have spent many hours trying to learn on my own. This program was what I needed to help me move to the next phase of my ability to implement computer science in my classroom. I am extremely grateful for this opportunity.”
“MESA increased my interest in engineering along with my goal of going to USC. Through opportunities provided by MESA I gained many skills like teambuilding, leadership and engineering processes. I later got accepted into USC thanks to MESA.”
