Voices from IEEE TryEngineering Summer Institute:
Parent and Student Experiences
The TryEngineering Summer Institute is more than just a summer camp, it’s a transformative experience that ignites a passion for engineering in young minds. By providing hands-on learning, mentorship, and a collaborative environment, the program empowers students to pursue their dreams in engineering.
Last year, students and parents shared their heartfelt testimonials, highlighting the impact of the program and what makes the TryEngineering Summer Institute a unique and enriching experience for aspiring engineers. Featured below are just a few of these inspiring quotes and stories:
Featured Parent Testimonials:
“Hands-on projects while solving problems is the best way of learning for my son. The TESI program gave him the opportunity to explore many different aspects of engineering fields and helped him make the decision of his major. He really enjoyed the environment, working with his peers, and the opportunities he was given. I’d highly recommend the TESI program to anyone who hasn’t yet made the decision on what their future careers will be.”
“My son thoroughly enjoyed TESI and returned from the camp with a spring in his step. The program cemented his belief that he can do it. He found the atmosphere uplifting, the content fun, and the field trip really amazing. The staff were attentive and engaging. I encourage any child who is curious about the world of engineering to consider TESI. It was a very rewarding experience for our son, and we were so grateful that he could gain confidence in his choice for the future in such a wonderful setting.”
“I have noticed a great change in my daughter after the camp. She is much more mature, more sure of herself, she acquired lots of new knowledge. It was a great experience—from the skills she acquired to the attentiveness of all the camp coordinators. It is an invaluable experience, I 110% recommend it!”
Featured Student Testimonials:
“I like how the Summer Institute provides an introduction to a student’s college life in the engineering field. Participating in hands-on projects and living in the dorm were amazing and fun experiences that I will not forget.”
“I enjoyed the balance between class and free time and activities so it wasn’t a stressful experience. I also tried a few things I’ve never done before which was exciting.”
“I loved the experience. I made friends during the program and connections through IEEE that I will cherish. I cannot wait to continue to pursue the field of Electrical Engineering!”
“I particularly enjoyed the Real World Real Solutions challenge, as it was intriguing and helped us think about what the world needs from engineers in the future.”
