"The best thing about Youth4Youth is that you learn something new every time you attend their sessions!"
"Very inspiring and exciting, I'm really glad I joined the Youth4Youth STEM activities at my school! The hands-on activities were awesome!"
"I didn’t really want to attend the Youth4Youth workshop at my school. Computer Science at school isn’t fun. But today was absolutely amazing! We learnt how to code our own AI emotion detectors. I wish Computer Science at school was this fun."
"The instructors are enthusiastic, fun and understand every student well!"
"Amaanat has an infectious passion for technology that makes you eager to learn about STEM, even when you don’t feel like it. The instructors were all very knowledgeable and guided us through discovering areas of STEM that interested us. By the end of the workshop, I felt very inspired to create my own NFTs."
"Before I attended the Youth4Youth workshops, I felt like I wasn’t good at STEM, but now, I feel much more confidence at it. Learning STEM is really interesting because the instructors make us explore new softwares and do hands-on activities. The instructors didn’t teach STEM using a boring textbook. They made it a lot of fun!"
"Incredible - I loved the hands-on activities! This is, by far, the best STEM workshop I've been to!"
"I had always aspired to be an engineer, but it was entirely a coincidence that I was enrolled in 'Youth4Youth Robotics Workshop' at my school. During the programme, I was able to send code to a micro:bit to make it do a variety of tasks like become a step counter. For me, as an 11 year old, being able to write the code for a task and then actually seeing it carried out was magical! It was this experience that made me realise what I really wanted to do in life. Next year, I have decided to study Computer Science for my GCSEs and am looking to study robotics engineering in university. My experience with Youth4Youth was not only an educational one, but one that helped shape my career in the future."
"The skills developed in the Youth4Youth STEM workshops are the super-curricula skills colleges and companies are searching for, and I would firmly suggest that anyone interested signs up as I genuinely feel that it had an incredible outcome for me as a person."
"The workshops are creative, thought-provoking, educational and entertaining!"
"I want to thank the Youth4Youth team for last week's session on how AI and ML are being used in the Art industry. I never realised how powerful the application of technology can be in art until I saw the demonstration last week. I love GauGAN, which uses deep learning artificial intelligence and neural networks to convert a sketch into a photorealistic artwork!"
"I love the Youth4Youth workshops at my school! I used to be scared of subjects like Maths in the past because they were not very practical and required a very good conceptual understanding. However, after attending the Youth4Youth activities, I starting enjoying Maths a lot more and seeing the questions as puzzles. I think I might want a STEM career like engineering or web development in the future now."
"The sessions were very innovative! They have really inspired me to look into some STEM career pathways for the future."
"I loved every minute of this workshop. The instructors were absolutely amazing, encouraging us to answer 'why' certain things occurred, instead of just following a step-by-step method. Through this experience, I created my own digital art and acquired hands-on experience."
"Some STEM activities are beyond textbooks and screens. They involve students building models and performing experiments. This is certainly the case with the Youth4Youth STEM workshops!"
"While attending the Micro:bit Pocket-sized Computer Workshop, I learnt how to create an interactive pet hamster through Python coding. Through this, I have experienced the fulfilment of seeing my projects come to life. It is through this workshop that I learnt how to maintain a positive mindset when I feel like giving up."
