Feedback from Participants ofMY Camp • I learned many news and knowledge. I thought our group is perfect. Because we made the highest score. • Learned some bio/robot stuff. Enjoyed actually interesting with ppt form other schools. • 實作上激發了我很多想像力,最後的結果也讓我學到了不再是死死的科學原理。參加了很多次體驗營,這次讓我最有感觸,整個teamwork都超棒的,TA也都很好相處,希望下次還有機會能參加。雖然用英文上有關科技的知識有時候真的會覺得枯燥乏味,但也學到很多專業英文名詞,英文聽力感覺整個變強了。 • 參加這次MY CAMP的營隊接觸到很多平常生活中從來沒有想過、看過的事情,更學到如何融入一個團隊合作的生活,和MIT老師一起交流文化、學習,MY CAMP真的超棒!!
