Meet Katherine and Neela, I found them both happily working away at our S.T.E.A.M. camp's Coding session.

Farah:  Hello ladies, what have you been working on? 

**Katherine:**   *A couple of things together. I am making a quiz game. There is an app that we are using called [Scratch ](https://scratch.mit.edu/)and it gives us pieces of code, and then you put the pieces together to make games or animation.*

Farah:  Are you both doing games?

**Katherine:**  *I'm making a funny quiz game. Its called, "The Impossible Quiz", and it's supposed to be funny because it's all trick questions. I've been trying it on campers and I want to try it out on my brother. There's one question where you click on a sprite, which is a character or animated character that I created.*

Farah:  That's so amazing! I can’t believe you made that! Tell me a little about yours, Neela.

**Neela:**  *My game is a maze. At the beginning, you choose a sprite, which is a character. They are all fantasy characters like a unicorn, a gryphon, a goblin, or a wizard. Once you choose a sprite, it changes the backdrop which is the background. It changes to a maze that we made together. You use the up and down arrow keys to move your character through the maze and then once you finish it, it changes to a background that says, "You Won!".*

Farah:  How did you hear about Future Stars Coding camp?

**Neela: ** *This is my second year here.*

**Katherine:**  *This is my first year. I used to go somewhere else but I wanted to go somewhere different because I didn’t really like it. I would cling to my mom. But I’m really happy here!  I really like it.  I'm making friends and having a good time.*

Farah:  What are you most looking forward to this summer at camp?

**Katherine:** * I'm doing a few different S.T.E.A.M. things but I'm also looking forward to going to [Horseback Riding camp](https://www.fscamps.com/programs/Horseback_Riding.html) with my friend. She’s moving away this summer but we get to go to Horseback Riding camp together before she leaves.*

**Neela: ** *I'm doing the same thing I did last summer- S.T.E.A.M.,  [Softball](https://www.fscamps.com/programs/Softball.html) and [Tennis](https://www.fscamps.com/programs/Tennis.html). I have a friend that’s coming too and we'll be doing softball and tennis together.*

Farah:  What do you like to do outside of camp?

**Katherine:**  I like to play a lot of computer games and watch stuff and play piano.

Farah:  That's great! How long have you been playing piano?

**Katherine:  ** *Maybe about a year, maybe two.*

**Neela: ** *I like to practice softball and tennis with my dad. When I'm not doing that I use Scratch and practice coding. I make games and animations.*

Farah:  Is there anyone in sports your admire?

**Katherine:**  *I don’t really like to watch sports too much.*

Is there anyone in tech you admire?

**Neela:** For sports. I like Serena Williams. For tech, I like Neil Degrasse Tyson even though he's not technology completely.

Farah:  Why do you admire him?

**Neela:**  *For the way, he changes the world for the better.*

Farah:  Do either of you know what you’d like to be when you grow up?

**Katherine:**  *I want to do something completely different. I want to be a teacher because it sounds like fun*.

**Neela:** *I don’t know yet.*

Farah:  What's your favorite food?

**Katherine:**  *It would have to be pasta or like anything related to cheese.*

Farah:  Whats your favorite cheese?

**Katherine:  ***Brie*

**Neela:  ***I'm going to say pizza.*

Farah:  What grade are you girls in?

**Katherine:**  *I'm going into 4th this year.*

**Neela:**  *I'm going into 6th.*

Farah:  So far, what is your favorite memory of camp?

**Katherine:**  *Well, I just started but I really loved playing gaga ball! I won a lot of games.*

**Neela:** * My favorite memory is from last year, just having so many people that I could make friends with.  I've seen a lot of them this year too!*

Farah:  Thank you girls! I hope you have more wonderful days here at Future Stars camps!
