Hear what Past Instructors Say

Many of the members of my team came from low-income families - some didn’t even have access to a computer at home. Being able to give them a jumpstart into something that may define their careers down the line was an experience I’ll never forget.

As an instructor, I believe I learned just as much from my group of students as they learned from me. They showed the camaraderie built upon the struggles of making an app is an experience like no other.

Because of my AppJam+ instructor mentorship experience, I’ve decided that I’m going to pursue a teaching credential and become a high school teacher in the future. Thank you AppJam+, my fellow mentors, the kids I’ve taught and inspired, and the experience that has helped shape my future.

AppJam+ has been such a humbling experience. It gives me a lot of satisfaction to be a person who can introduce kids to the STEAM field and possibly encourage them to pursue careers in it.
