Selected Feedback from Prior Participants

“Before, I thought that when we burned trash, the smoke floated into outer space. Now I realize that it stays on Earth and affects all the living things. I feel motivated to find new ways to stop air pollution and tell others to help me to do this."

"Seeing so many unemployed graduated students in the past made me realize that I must have a skill that others don’t have in order to find a job and I must help others know that I have this skill by making a website. Thank you for helping me to learn this skill."

"This was my first time to use a saw. Now, I feel I can go back and make things for my villagers, like new ways to carry wood. My mother must carry a lot of wood everyday for the fire and her back is always in pain. Now that I know how to use these tools to make things, I will make a way for her to carry these fuels less painfully."

"I knew how to make things before, but I never tried to design before. Now, I understand about design and how, if I think and draw my idea beforehand, I can really make something new and useful."
