"I'm guessing it's a lot of work to be teaching Novas, so thanks :) It was really fun, and I would recommend it for anybody whether they have never coded before or code everyday!" ~L. F.
"[The instructors] did a very good job teaching and helping us improve coding. Thank you for helping us learn!" ~S. D.
"Honestly I couldn't have made my code if it wasn't everybody else's code. :) I made my biggest improvements simulating with everyone else!" ~R. K.
After 1 week: "This week I learned about how to use the ZeroRobotics IDE. I really enjoyed figuring out how to move the SPHERES robot around the board and trying to make it avoid the obstacles. This week has been really fun so far, and I'm excited for next week! :)" ~L. C.
"When I joined the Natick Novas, I didn't expect to do very well, but teamwork and perseverance showed me hard work pays off and we were the best in the state. The Natick Novas showed me anything is possible if you try hard enough." ~A. D.
"You guys were great! It was really fun to be a part of this :D" ~B. L.
"Thank you so much for hosting this camp during COVID. Amazing fun and amazing learning. I really enjoyed coding." ~D. S.
"This was so fun! I can't wait for next year!" ~A. S.
"I really understood when [the instructors] explained about coding." ~A. P.
"I have learned a lot of things in this program, space science, SPHERES and computer programming. After completing this program, I can now debug, and run the codes. I think that our instructors are the best in Zero Robotics. I can't believe that we won the 1st place in the Massachusetts regional competition! I am very excited to see our code run on the International Space Station. I think we will do even better next year, from the experience we gained this year! My thoughts about what I will do in programming have also improved." ~D. X.
"It was super fun!" ~B. S.
"Natick Novas was a good opportunity to learn a type of coding that was new to me and see how it could play out in a real situation like on the space station. It was also fun to learn and code with other people in our group and go on field trips to MIT. Thanks for making my time there great!" ~A. H.
"Good job teaching code!" ~K. F.
"I learned about compiling and about how C code works. I really enjoyed coding; it's something I haven't done in a while. I don't really want to see anything changed." ~Z. W.
"Thank you so much! [My child] had a great time and learned a lot! It was his first experience and you all are awesome! See you next summer!" ~S. H.
"Thank you for the opportunity and the fun, safe environment for the kids." ~C. S.
"Thank you so much for a great summer activity. [My child] really enjoyed Novas!" ~E. G.
"This program has been very successful. Zero Robotics taught my child basic computer coding skills and logics. The Natick Novas' team instructors were very helpful to my child and they worked very hard throughout the program. After completing the program, my child can now do block coding independently and he has become very interested in computer coding. Winning 1st place in the Massachusetts regional competition is a huge surprise to us and I am very proud of the Natick Novas team!" ~Z. X.
"Thank you so much for a wonderful summer! [My child] really had a fantastic time and loved it!" ~K. C.
"[My child] seemed to enjoy the program and she felt she benefited from it. Everyone seemed nice and the experience should help [my child] ease into programming, which she has already signed up for in the ninth grade." ~E. H.
"[My child] really enjoyed the program and it was a great experience for him!" ~A. R.
"[My child] attended last summer’s program and he really enjoyed it" ~P. R.
