In the summer of 2023, he signed up for his first-ever U&I Summer Camp. The two weeks at camp – during which, among other things, he says he played a lot of soccer – were “the best experience of the whole year for me, more interesting than my holidays”.
Besides being a camp volunteer, Silviu is also one of the trainers in the Own Your Path high school programming course, a role in which he feels great because, according to him, he likes teaching kids. He wants to pass on the awe-inspiring idea that “in technology, it’s so simple to make something useful”. His 10th-grade students worked on a mobile musical app: a piano keyboard.
They’re involved and active. They ask when they are uncertain of something. I’m happy when I see that they like the course, that they find it useful, and that they learn new things. I think it will help them in their careers in the future. Maybe they’ll like programming, or perhaps they’ll get an idea for an app, and they’ll make a business out of it. I’m delighted to think that the class I teach can improve their lives.
