TECH CORPS NSBE Jr. Students Reflect on FRC

Students Reflect on NSBE Fall Regional Conference (Milwaukee, Wisconsin, November, 2011)

“FRC was great!  Attending the conference opened my eyes and showed me how many scholarships are out there for me.  This is very important for high school students because we need to learn about the opportunities that are out there for us.” - Christopher Steward, 11th grade

“The person who was memorable to me from FRC was Jerald.  He came from a low-income neighborhood; however, with his drive and mind, he received his degree on time and now works for General Electric.  He basically said that it doesn’t matter where you come from, but it does matter where you’re going.”-Vincent Johns, 10th grade

“I absolutely loved FRC.  It was my first conference, and it went above and beyond my expectations.  The reason I believe FRC is valuable for high school students is because coming to the conference really inspired me to become an engineer and allowed me to gain a sense of knowledge of what I now know I would like to pursue when I get older.” -Julie Harris, 11th grade

“My impression of FRC was very good.  I learned many new things, and it was very informative.  Coming to FRC is valuable for high school students because of two things: (1) it exposes students to engineering opportunities and career; (2) it also shows us some of the companies that have engineering opportunities (the career fair).” - Abby Kaye, 10th grade
