Summer Camp
"I came to my idea after I got hurt (playing basketball). When I was playing (after the injury), I put on an ankle brace, and it wasn't the same. It wasn't comfortable. When I sat down and thought about it, I thought, 'How can I make this better and make it better for the customer?'"
Godley said the academy has helped him learn "how to put the (entrepreneurial) puzzle pieces together. I've met a few contacts that I can ask for advice" to achieve his ultimate goal of having his product on store shelves.
STEMx
Middle and high school students from five economically distressed Tier 1 North Carolina counties made up the STEMx training and hackathon youth camp in the Department of Technology Systems.
The Department of Defense's Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office, ECU's Office of National Security and Industry Initiatives in the Office of Research, Economic Development and Engagement, the NCEast Alliance and Trenchant Analytics supported the camp designed to inspire students to attend college and choose a career in STEM. The 16 students worked with computer programming and coding, learned about robotics, heard from industry experts, toured a Hyster-Yale facility and will later this week participate in a hackathon in which teams compete using computer programming.
"I really like that we were able to do hands-on stuff and do it on our own with help after they explained what it is," said Kara Williams, 16, from the Lake Mattamuskeet area. "Working with Python (programming), they explained what it was, but then we got to work with it."
The campers stayed in residence halls for the week and enjoyed social activities that included basketball, pickleball and dinners together. They also designed and printed their own camp T-shirts in the Isley Innovation Hub.
