Here’s what a few of our previous participants have to say:

"There I was blindly pushing forward toward a better life - with no idea what it was going to be. That's when I met an instructor who saw something in me that I didn't see myself. He recommended I participate in the Avnet Tech Games and I’ll always thank him for that. It opened a world of opportunity for me. I learned a lot from the games, but I came away with much more – first, a summer internship with Avnet and, then a full-time position. The Avnet Tech Games gave me more than a great experience I will never forget; it gave me a better life."
   – Nicholas Hare, 2008 Student Participant

“I signed up for the Avnet Tech Games assuming it was just another academic competition. In reality, they did much more than gauge my technical ability. To succeed, the Games demanded leadership, team work, innovation, and time management. Now that I am in the workforce, I have to use those critical skills every single day! I would strongly encourage any student who has the opportunity to participate in this unique event to do so.”
   – Cory Kincaid, 2006 Student Participant
