I don't remember the exact date of the event but it wasn't a bad weekend. A little less structured than I am used to but from what I gathered zoom and Microsoft Teams was still new to the ladies leading the organization. The leaders were a bit abrasive and I personally thought it could've been more organized but that was probably my USAF structure over critiquing it. I personally felt like I had little input and the events were rushed. I ended up being partnered with a group of kids and didn't get much time for guidance, more of a role to just make sure they are attempting to do what they needed to do. It was cool to see some of the stuff the kids made though. And apparently there were like 19K in scholarships that were given out which is great. I didn't learn that until after I checked in on the company and their annual results.

WCTD is true to its mission. It has invested people who run the program, and I got to see the students being changed at the end of the STEAM 2020 program.
