Segun's Story

I discovered my passion for engineering when I was a young boy. I used to watch Transformers and have always been in awe when I see the robots change into cars. I have always known I want to grow up to build robots, machines or cars. Next, when I watched The Fast and Furious my interest shifted to building cars. First, I want to learn how to repair cars. Eventually, once I have gained enough experience, I want to start my own company that will allow me to repair and augment cars, even possibly designing my own brand or line of cars. I want to be able to build cars that meet the specifications and desires of my customers responding to their needs for function and also personal preferences. I also want to explore how we can make cars that are more energy-efficient and practical.

Attending iD Tech Camps New York will get me one step closer to my dreams. I want to learn from others in the field and prepare myself for college and a career. After this summer, I hope to have a better foundation in math and science. I believe this program will allow me to learn from other students and professionals, which will help me grow as a student and person. I want to be able to learn from others, share ideas, work collaboratively, and become better as a student so that I can one day reach my dream of being able to build and design cars.

A Note from Mr. Jackson, Segun's Teacher

Segun is extremely focused and goal-oriented. During a recent college visit while most students were excited to find out what type of dorms they had the option to choose from or asking questions about meal plans provided, Segun was asking questions about the Engineering programs. He then created a list of achievable goals and the next week was seeking out help from teachers to accomplish each goal. Segun is fearless and goes after what he wants in life.

Segun is a great candidate for iD Tech Camps New York, because he has a desire to learn. He is an amazing young man who has made the most of the resources we have to offer here at the high school and has been an avid member of our science learning community. He is also a member of our video game club to explore his interests in technology. I am excited for him to be able to find another outlet for his interests and passions. I am certain that he will make the most of this experience and this would be a wonderful starting point for him to hopefully one day become an engineer.
