What Parents/Students/Supporters Say

My time at BYOC has been amazing. I was apart of the associate camp (2015)... ,Camp BYOC Forever!!!!!! --K. Thomas, Cincinnati, OH 2015

K. Thomas - 2015

In shouting our good news about my grandson choosing to major in computer science, I neglected to give props to Robin Walker, whose summer program, Camp BYOC (BUILD YOUR OWN COMPUTER) was the wind beneath my grandson’s wings. Robin’s summer program was intense but created for youth. In this program, Adam found his future by learning the intricacies of computer science, and yes, he did build his own computer through this program. Thank you Robin Walker, because of your dedication and your vision, my grandson’s path and future have been laid before him. Jenny Laster – 4/21/21

"Because of BYOC, Nia is able to see possibilities instead of limitations. She has ventured into a more creative filmmaking path but I am grateful that she believes in herself enough to pursue it and I do think that in part is thanks to her experience at Camp BYOC. She went to California, she practiced coding, programmed robots... heck, she made her own computer from scratch. I am starting to believe she thinks she can do anything! It's a beautiful place for her to be in as she begins her career journey."

I got to get on a plane and go to California! We went to Silicon Valley and had an exciting, almost once in a lifetime experience. We went to big companies like SAAMA, HP, FACEBOOK, INTEL, and CISCO. These companies change technology, making it easier and easier to work on and use computers. Thank you very much for helping us have this experience. --B. Thomas, Cincinnati, OH 2015

A great testimonial from Channell, a parent! I can't express how life-changing this has been for my daughter! Once struggling with her grades and unsure of her future, she discovered her passion for computer engineering after attending BYOC CAMPS summer engineering program. Her grades soared, and now she's thriving as a member of Fairfield High School's Women in STEM Club and BYOC's Coding Club. At just 14, she even interned as a coding instructor's assistant and traveled to Silicon Valley to tour tech companies and talk and shadow IT Leaders. We need your support...volunteer...sponsor....

Channell-2025

The trip to California (2015) was a tremendous experience! Being able to visit five different major companies had one common effect on me and that is dreams really come true! This great opportunity put me on a different road to greatness, to make a difference in the world. I'm now a dream maker and catcher, this trip will always live with me! --K. Lee, Cincinnati, OH 2015 (note: K. Lee is now pursuring her dreams and recently graduated from Cincinnati State)
