Below are some testimonials from past JADE participants:
"My favorite part of JADE was definitely connecting with everybody from the coordinators to the other JADErs. I posted a picture of a site visit on my Instagram and one of my older peers told me messages me asking if I was doing JADE. Turns out they were a previous JADE participant as well! Now both of us are able to connect deeper not only personally, but also business-wise. She visited other companies and our combined pool of contacts will be helpful to the two of us."- 2020 JADE participant
"I really like doing the web development. I loved seeing my work change and get better every time I refreshed the page. It was really cool and I feel like it connected well with my interests in art and tech bc of the creativity and the application of programming." -2019 JADE participant
"I learned a lot about the tech world, or just workplace general. I was studying computer science but I was kind of scared and had no one to ask questions. But now I know I can ask the leaders or just the members of the group. I also learned how to ask questions that are challenging and also productive. I learned a lot from the other students." - 2020 JADE participant
