“I like this program for my daughter because this camp crushes the stereotype that only men can work on cars and I think that it is so cool that there is an all-female high school racing team. It gives my daughter so many new career options in the STEM field and helps her feel more confident in pursuing those options.”

"I just wanted to mention that I really enjoyed this photography segment because my father is really invested in photography, with myself and my sister sharing that interest to some extent - we all usually take photos of mountains and all of the things that come with them, as well as taking pictures of some of our trips that don't lead us miles away from civilization, and I dare say we've gotten some really good pictures. Photography really is magical!"

“What I loved most about camp was meeting Mr. Shetty, and Dr. Sabra. I was immediately attracted to Dr. Sabra’s background and research since I personally have an attraction to medical sciences. Mr. Shetty’s speech was equally captivating since both my parents are engineers and I could understand and relate to a lot of his lectures.”

"When I grow up I want to be a computer science engineer. I think it is important to learn about engineering because it applies to so many aspects of our lives. Also, these days, there are so many jobs related to engineering and it helps to get interested and start learning about it when you are younger."

"I love FABcamp because I learn the inner workings of a car, get to see some really cool cars, and have some amazing racers talk to us about their experiences. When I grow up I want to be an engineer, so I can create innovations and build things like cars. This is important to learn about because many of us don't care how and why a car works, and don't know of the parts that make up a car, such as a chassis or powertrain."
