Building the Next Generation of Engineers: CYOC 2026 Summer Engineering Workshop (Week 1)

By George Wang, CYOC Member and Engineering Workshop Instructor

Following the success of last year’s Engineering Workshop, my friends Evan Chen, Ruichen Feng, and I returned this summer to organize and teach the CYOC 2026 Summer Engineering Workshop. This is the second year Evan and Ruichen have organized and led this camp, and working closely with them throughout the program has allowed me to learn a great deal from their experience and leadership. Unlike last year, when I only assisted as a guest instructor for one day, this year I served as a full-time instructor, actively involved throughout the entire program in teaching, mentoring students, and troubleshooting engineering challenges alongside Evan and Ruichen.

Building Future Engineers: Reflections on the 2026 CYOC Summer Engineering Workshop

By Ruichen Feng (CYOC Summer Engineering Workshop Co-Founder & Instructor)

This summer marked my second year serving as an instructor for the CYOC Summer Engineering Workshop. I had the privilege of working alongside the workshop’s founder, Evan Chen, and instructor George Wang. As co-founder of the workshop, my goal, together with our teaching team, was to provide meaningful STEM enrichment opportunities for elementary to middle school students while inspiring them to explore future pathways in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). This year, we welcomed 16 middle school and rising middle school students, most of whom had little or no prior experience with engineering, computer-aided design (CAD), electronics, or programming.
