“I enjoyed the experience. I learned a lot from my program and it was fun being taught new skills... Our project was to create a product that allowed us to apply the different fields we’d chosen; fashion , product , and graphic .The showcase at the end went well and was fun too . I loved the product design part of it , being a part of the program, and my peers and teachers . ”
