Program Reviews

This summer I went with the experiment to Spain. I had a lot of fun with my experiment group, and made what I believe to be long lasting friendships. I was very immersed in the Spanish culture, and was able to learn the Spanish language as well. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is worried about leaving the country without any guidance. It’s also great for people who do not have the means/experience to travel on their own or with family. It is a fantastic first step for seeing the world.

Participating in The Experiment and being able to go to Ghana allowed me to fully immerse myself in Ghanaian culture and learn a lot more about it. I was able to gain insight into the contemporary art culture in Ghana, and how the history of Ghana including the various ethnic groups and the Transatlantic slave trade impacted current Ghanaian art and culture. My program also included an internship, where I interned at Untamed Empire, an organization dedicated to spotlighting up-and-coming Ghanaian artists. Getting first-hand experience in another country was incredibly informative. My favorite part of the trip was probably getting to explore different cities in Ghana, including Accra, Cape Coast, and Kumasi, and diversifying my perception of Ghana as a whole rather than being confined to just one city through the whole trip. The program leaders was also very welcoming and helped me feel at home in country. I think the only downside to this program was that I wasn't able to do a homestay because of Covid restrictions, but other than that it was amazing! I'd definitely recommend this program for anyone who wants to do an international summer program!

I loved how genuine the participants were. They were all so open to share their views and hear the views of other people. Every participant was so nice, and I am so happy to have been able to participate in this program. I also love the enriching content. I truly feel more empowered to evoke change in my community. The program allows students to think about what issues they face in their community, and they pushed us to really evaluate what we could do to help it. With this, I have a community service project that I would love to implement in my community!

It was a great experience for me, I got to know people from all over the world and share my ideas with them, that really had a great feeling. I learned a lot of things about being a leader and having a good effect on my community.
The only problem I faced is when using some of the digital tools like Padlet, it was glitching a lot and that prevented me from completing my activities in time.
I recommend this program for everyone who is interested in solving problems in their community or becoming a leader.

I learned a lot of stuff in this program about leadership, SWOT analysis, different cultures, issues in different communities. We discussed stereotypes. We brainstormed solutions together via slack and family dialogues. The virtual homestay was one of the most fascinating experiences in the program because I had a conversation with my sibling about our countries, issues in our communities, knew the similarities and differences between our communities. The facilitators were so cooperative. I also learned about the SMART goal and action plan timeline. Coming up with a solution that solves one of my community issues.

The experiment digital is such a great opportunity and an eye-opening for me because I learned a lot of new things about leadership and I knew myself more. I am being my better version, I have become more confident also I met inspiring people and peers from different countries and backgrounds, with different taught and ideas, I think exactly this point is pretty great because you are going to exchange your culture, your traditions and your language with your peers. I have the chance to learn from your peer mentors and your facilitator who will guide you when you needed help. You will be able to start your own project to make a difference or a change in your community and influent people around you. I fully advise and encourage you guys to submit the required information and participate in this amazing journey.

The Experiment Digital allowed me to explore parts of my identity of myself with others from all across the world. I learned how to be a better, more thoughtful, kinder leader not only with others but with myself. TED allowed me to become the best version of myself through discovering other rich and fascinating cultures, customs, and traditions. I got to play a lot of games and have interesting conversations with really interesting people, and I felt like I had a lot of support through all of it. I would definitely recommend this program!

I am recommending this program to those young learners and those who wants to become a good leader. Its was a different experience for me i get to know more about other caltures and talking about their issues and trying to help each other. i get to know a lot of great people and becoming friends with them and at the end of the program we are trying to have a project to help people in our community and trying to change those bad thing. So i recommend the experiment digital to those young leaders.

I had a good time! Hands down my favourite program out of all the other different programs I took part in. I learnt a lot from the other participants and the facilitators. Fun was always part of the program and that was one of the things I liked the most. We had fun while discussing important topics and learned a lot about how to solve serious problems facing us. I also got to know the cultural differences between Egyptians and Americans. I made a lot of new friends from different nationalities. I am more than happy to have taken part in this program and I would most certainly give it another shot if possible.

I really had so much fun, it was an unforgettable experience and I learned a lot about different problems and issues in both countries and discussed how to solve them. I learned more about education in America and it’s totally different from Egypt. Everyone in this program was helpful and encouraging and the facilitator was really supportive and caring . The best part of the program is that I’ve meet a lot of amazing people and I made a lot of friends both Egyptian and Americans and I would be glad to repeat this experience again.
