" I love being a mentor because I am helping the next generation of students find their passion in computer science. It is such a fulfilling experience watching a young student use code creatively to make their ideas come alive. The work we do here is invaluable! I wish I had OYOclass as a child. "
Laura Mun
CS Major, Stony Brook University / Decoded
" I love being able to lead by example and show little girls that they can combine interests other than gaming, such as design, with programming, a role model I wish I had when I was their age. "
Rahul Sondhi
CS & Business Major, Stony Brook University
" ... Through the mentor program, mentors bring their experience in learning the same exact topics to the table ... As a mentor, you impart the true ways of learning to those younger than you to help mold the future of the tech world ... The most rewarding part of being a mentor is when you see your students use their newfound knowledge to create things they didn't even think possible for them. That proud feeling and their reactions are forever priceless. "

CS Major, Stony Brook University
" Being a mentor is an amazing experience. My favorite part is when I see a lesson click with the students, and they have a eureka moment where it all makes sense. Seeing them get it, and then apply it to whatever wacky idea they have, is a blast! It’s also so much fun mixing up my teaching with games/activities. "
Marisa Depasquale
CS & Psychology Major, Stony Brook University / 360 View
" As a mentor at OYOclass, I can definitively say that it nourishes and embraces learning in every way, shape, and form. Students learn how to code and, additionally, how to collaborate with others and utilize their creativity in a judgement free environment. The more we teach, the more we learn about our kids, co-workers, and selves. This aspect is what makes OYOclass so unique and inviting. "
Jia Li
CS Major, Stony Brook University / Estee Lauder Companies Inc.
" Being a mentor helps me see coding in a new way. Coding is more than just creating a functional program. It is about being creative and going far beyond with the functions of a program. "
Adam Farnessa
CS Major, Pace University
"Being a mentor feels like it's teaching kids what they really want to learn. Teaching valuable skills that will help them no matter where they go is really important to me. And we have a lot of fun along the way."
