We sincerely thank everyone who participated this year.
This summer school was packed with activities beyond just staying in the Stanford dorms and programming camps. Participants enjoyed visits to amusement parks and San Francisco tours, tours of Silicon Valley companies, watching a Dodgers game featuring Shohei Ohtani, riding in self-driving taxis, group discussions with Stanford students, cultural exchanges with locals, and communal living at the Betion House.
Some students initially found it challenging to take initiative, but as the days went by, they became more independent—taking care of themselves and confidently asking questions in English whenever they faced difficulties. Witnessing their growth brought great joy to all our staff.
We look forward to your continued support next year.
