"My son had so much fun. It wasn’t just a great learning experience; he also met new people and made lasting connections with peers from different walks of life. He definitely grew so much during this experience. Thank you so much for having him!"

"Creating something with the friends I made during my stay both expanded my horizons in engineering and gave me great social opportunities. It was overall enjoyable."

"I had the opportunity to experience something that I never thought I'd be given the chance to experience. To got to fly all the way to California and indulge in different forms of engineering, which was amazing. I also had the pleasure of meeting some amazing people that I probably would have never meet if not for this program."

"My daughter loved the program! She flew for the first time by herself, and everything with pick up in Georgia went smooth. Very happy! She reported a wonderful experience, felt safe, and made friends. The schedule was busy, and she came home exhausted."

"From a father's perspective, the organization of the whole week was particularly good. From a participant's perspective, after talking with my son about his experience, he mentioned all the new friends he met from the US and around the world, as well as the wonderful experiences he had with the various activities throughout the week. Especially noteworthy were the 'Drone Workshop' and the different speakers each day."

"You took the time to encourage kids my age to be great in what they want to achieve and gave us a great atmosphere with a college experience that was memorable."

"I was a bit nervous when I arrived on campus, seeing as it would be my first time on my own, but I felt right at home in no time. Everyone was so welcoming, the staff was quite knowledgeable, and all of the activities, engineering or recreational, were fun and well planned out. I really feel as though I've deepened my understanding and interest in the engineering field, and I've made great friends while doing so."

"I liked Envision because of the variety of different things we did every single day; for example, there was a new workshop to participate in every day, and there was always a new guest speaker as well. I also felt like Envision properly challenged me, especially with the final Capstone Project."

"I loved the opportunity it gave me. It helped narrow down my goals and future potential careers in life through a fun learning experience. I also made a lot of good friends :)"

"I got to meet other kids my age who want to go into similar occupations. I got to widen my knowledge through classes and making connections. My advisor was extremely great, the robotic stage one lesson (drones) was fun and knowledgeable, electric mechanics class was knowledgeable and helpful. They did a great job at compacting a lot of information into a simple outlook. The off campus day was also extremely fun."

"This was a great way to learn more about a topic I was interested in, make friends, and learn more about speaking in front of people. This was a meaningful experience that helped shape what I want to do in the future."

"Not including the outing day, I would say that the stage one educators made learning genuinely fun. I had zero CAD experience before coming into the program, and I ended up doing the entire CAD for the Capstone project. I also just loved how kind and supportive everyone was."

"I loved all of the great learning opportunities within the program. Each activity was very hands-on and easy to understand. All of the administrators were very kind and encouraging, and they made my experience much better. It was so much fun to collaborate and learn from every new friend I met. I had a wonderful experience."

"I was extremely happy with the people and the staff that I had met while spending my time with the program at UC Berkeley"

"Not only were the advisors and my peers amazing and welcoming people, but they also taught me a lot about teamwork with strangers of different backgrounds. The workshops helped me understand the difficulties of engineering and how to face them. 10/10 experience!"

"My son had an amazing experience! He learned a lot, gained experience being on his own on a college campus, and made new friends. His favorite part of the program was the drone flying and learning about the many jobs in the engineering world."

"My son really enjoyed his experience. He liked every single activity he did. His group leader was excellent not only teaching him stuff but interacting with the group. Santiago believes Envision program impacted him in a positive way his perception of medicine, engineering and crimal justice. Now he wants to be a medical doctor like his mother. Thank you!"

"Envision is doing a great job exposing teens to trades that are a viable option for careers. They have also shown us what it looks like to be a part of something bigger than ourselves, and they gave us an opportunity to show the world our mettle."
