“It surprised me how much (the program) captured the attention, minds and energy of the students. The kids are here for five or six hours a day on their summer break. I was surprised by how motivating it is for them to be working with their hands, to be learning a real skill and to be taking home the projects. They were so proud of the things that they made. They were so excited to take them home.”

Steve Wallis, Executive Director of Da Vinci Institute
