Student journeys
In their own words
The honest measure of a summer program isn't the closing ceremony — it's what the kids say when the camera's on them, and where they stand years later. One of our earliest campers, from the 2016 batch, went on to read computer science and neuroscience at Johns Hopkins; several recent TAs were once campers themselves. Here's the evidence, unedited.

Students and alumni
We could tell you about GenWise — but it's better heard from those who lived it.
“All in all, Genwise has left me with memories I'll cherish for a lifetime. It brought me out of my comfort zone, let me experience a kind of joy I never had before and after 21 days, sent me back with friends from all over the country, skills I'll never forget, knowledge I didn't have before and countless beautiful memories.”
“The professors here are just the best! Never did I feel that I could not approach them, it is such a positive environment. The freedom you get here helps you to communicate, to grow and be an all-rounder. After coming here, I can talk freely and initiate conversations with a group of people.”
“I didn't know much about forensic science till I came here. I got to know that it is all about finding the perfect clues. It's like a jigsaw puzzle – Find, put together and solve. I learnt many skills that will surely be useful in my future.”
“Attending the Genwise summer program was the best decision I ever made! The courses were challenging yet incredibly rewarding, and the instructors were supportive and knowledgeable. I made lifelong friends and learned so much beyond the regular school curriculum. This program truly ignited my passion for learning.”
“The Genwise summer program was an amazing experience. The blend of academics and extracurricular activities kept me engaged and excited every day. I particularly loved the AI and Machine Learning course, which was both fun and informative. The supportive community and hands-on learning approach made it an unforgettable summer.”
“I was blown away by the GenWise summer program! The innovative teaching methods and engaging projects made learning enjoyable. The opportunity to explore new subjects like Gen AI was eye-opening. The camp's atmosphere was so welcoming, and I felt inspired every day. Can't wait to return next summer!”
“These three weeks have arguably been some of the best weeks of my life. It's just the people I met, the friendships I have created and the bonds I have with them now are something truly special which can't really be replicated anywhere else.”
“I'm currently getting my bachelors in Neuroscience, and my first ever exposure to the field was through the Summer Program. My experience at this Program was an incredible learning and growth opportunity for me, both personally and academically. It inspired my interest in neuroscience and medicine, and I am so thankful for the opportunity it gave me!”
“My experience with Genwise has been full of twists and turns, happiness and challenge, but as I overcome each one, I discovered a new part of myself.”
Parents
Behind every transformation is a parent who noticed.
“The people at GenWise brilliantly managed to bridge the gap even though the child's parents were not there. They take care of the children in such a way that parents are confident that their children will be safe and fine. If anything, the child's going to be feeling even better.”
“The learning which they brought back along with them is fabulous. I mean, out of the world, there is nothing beyond words which I can express. We consciously took those courses which we thought were interesting and which our children could pursue in future.”
Mentors and staff
The people who taught the courses and ran the wings.
“The kids taught me to always find the magic in life — to be constantly inspired and confident to achieve your aspirations. Knowing that I can make a difference and being able to witness that difference come alive in the program gave me the incentive to pursue a teaching career.”
