Past students at
Engineering Your Future
said:

“The most rewarding aspect
was that finally I had a clear
understanding of engineering. I
had all my questions answered.”
“Loved every minute of the week.
The practical challenges provided
me with a fun and unique learning
experience that I wouldn’t have
had in school.”
“A wonderful opportunity to learn
about technology, medicine,
design and other aspects of
engineering. And you get to make
new friends and met interesting
people.”
