Career Launch is a “choose-your-own-adventure” project-based program. To kick off projects, students are divided into groups to decide on the area they want to focus on for three weeks. They are given the liberty to choose any area of technology and any topic of their interest to pursue during the program.”
Career Launch is composed of two components that are ideally completed together, but students may choose to only complete one part. Completing one part will earn you a $150 stipend. If you complete both parts, you will receive a $300 stipend. Participation can be entirely virtual.
