Student quotes about Digital Miracles:

“I want to thank you for giving me a chance to prove to you that I can put your computer together.”

“When I opened the computer and took it apart I thought I was never going to put it back together. But with the help of the [my high school tech mentor], I put it back together.”

“I will pass on what I have learned by teaching my skills to one of my family members. They can learn the same way I did.”

“Next time when I come back I would like to learn Adobe Photoshop and Macromedia Flash like [high school students] are doing…”

“My favorite activity was installing all of these kinds of programs, like when we installed the modem.”
