Ben is a first-year computer engineering major at Michigan Tech who attended SYP on a scholarship as a high school student.
"SYP was a great experience. It was the perfect mix of having fun and learning about different types of engineering majors. SYP helped me learn what things I would and wouldn't want to do for my future, and it made college seem more appealing.
"The scholarship I received helped immensely, and I'm grateful to the whole experience for shaping my future."
