Brian's Story

My passion is engineering.

Since I was young, my passion was to ask questions. I always wanted to know how things work. "How are video games made?" "What causes my video game to freeze?" Many of these questions were answered as I grew up, but it wasn't enough. I now have tons of questions that have developed from answers to my previous questions. Engineering seems like the career that has the answers I'm craving. However, I'm not sure what type of engineering career I want to follow because there are so many diverse fields within engineering. My mission is to explore as many of them as possible to see which one catches my interest the most.

A Note from Ms. Santos, Brian's Counselor

Brian will be an excellent candidate for the ID Tech Camps New York. He is an experienced participant to which he can be a mentor and aid others participating for the first time. He will benefit tremendously from this program as he will further explore the endless opportunities available within the STEM field.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

Hey! I'm writing this to thank you so much for the support and allowing me to attend iD Tech summer camp. It was such a fun program where I learned a lot about cybersecurity. I learned a plethora of ways to encrypt and decrypt messages and I plan on using these new learned skills to not only keep information safe, but to also teach people how easy it is to lose all your files to a hacker. Thank you so much for this opportunity. I can't thank you enough!

Thank You so Much for the Opportunity

Because of you, I will be able to attend a Cryptography; Cyber Security program at iD Tech. I'm looking forward to this as it's an interesting field that I'm intrigued by and would love to learn more about it. In school, we really only learn what's required of us but that isn't enough for me. I want to start exploring what interests me and what drives me to learn more and pursue my passion of engineering.

I've chosen to attend this program because I'm unsure about the field I want to pursue, however I do know that I want to go after an engineering field. I want to explore the many fields of engineering before I settle down and chose a major that I want to aspire after. Thanks to you, I'll be one step closer to this goal!
