Spira Engineering Camp is the best camp I have attended in my awesome life!

...mentoring made me more confident in teaching engineering-related concepts by helping me become more open-minded and patient.
- 2015 Mentor
Being a mentor at this engineering [camp] really does make me feel as if I could be a great role model... I feel that through the mentoring program myself and other mentors are able to show the campers that being female in engineering is so much more than what is shown on television.
- 2015 Mentor
I think being able to teach lessons made the mentoring experience better because it gave me more of a voice in camp... it allowed [the campers] to get to know me a little better and feel more confident in asking me questions because they'd now feel secure that I knew what was going on.

Teaching [lessons] made my experience as a mentor better because when I would have to teach a lesson, it would give me a chance to learn more about something I had some interest in.
- 2015 Mentor
Mentoring this summer forced me to learn topics I may not have already known on my own in preparation for lessons which proved to me that I am very capable of teaching and learning engineering based concepts on my own.
- 2015 Mentor
Mentoring this summer influenced how confident I am in learning an engineering-related concept from a teacher by reminding me how important it is to ask questions when I don't understand a question.
- 2015 Mentor
In my own experience with groups we always heard everyone out before we actually started building anything.
- 2015 Camper
We kind of like, changed ideas, so if someone said 'oh I don't know if that will work', 'well how do you think we can make it work?' and we changed the way we thought to make everybody's ideas heard, so nobody was left out.
