  14. … parent comments six months after camp: "My daughter attempted to start a robotics club at school. She was unable to get any administrative or faculty support to make it happen. However, she completed a science fair project utilizing robotics!” “The Robotics camp, and the skills learned there, very much excited our son in his interest of science, robotics and math. He is looking forward to more FLATE events in 2011.“

  15. "The camp gave my son valuable problem solving skills and confidence he needs to stick with it and work through problems. This has had a trickle down effect in all of his classes. He has shown a great deal of maturity, initiative and determination as a result of the camp." "One of the major advantages that we saw after the Summer program was her level of excitement about math and science. Prior to the program she didn't really understand that math is an integral part of robotics and a lot of other sciences.“
