“Shodor nurtured... my interest in programming, without which I would not have been able to do the work that I am doing now. There is a direct line between the skills I learned at Shodor and the success in college and beyond .”
- Shodor Intern, 1999-2001
- Pomona College, 2005
- CE Jordan High School, 2001
- A Publication was accepted in the Oxford Journal of Bioinformatics
“I gained on a lot of... understanding of how to program something that will be used by others. Also, I learned about the importance of computational science and how teaching it can be very difficult if you don’t have the right information and materials... It was a great experience to have to plan classes and code with others...”

- Fifth year graduate student at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences – NYU
“Shodor provides the possibility for interns to work on a wide variety of different projects and develop a unique set of skills. I was able to develop technical ability in software development writing really cool software—and at the same time would be planning and teaching lessons for the middle school math workshops during the summer.”

“Shodor helped me in many ways. First off, through Shodor, I became more competent in using computers and in programming in several languages. In addition, Shodor improved my team-working skills , as I was often working with several other people on a project, and so I had to collaborate with these other people in order to successfully complete the project.”

- Researched in a science lab at Duke University through the Howard Hughes program
- Worked in an applied math lab at the University of North Carolina
- Earned recognition as a Siemens Research Competition Semifinalist
“I could write a book on the many ways Shodor helped me, but I’ll stick with the main points: I learned how to best approach a project that I wasn’t completely sure how to do; I learned how to work with other people ; I learned how to use OS X and Unix, which has completely changed the way I use computers ; I learned how to rely on meta-cognitive abilities, which are infinitely more important in the real world than cognitive ones.”
