is that they didn’t just teach us technical skills and how to code – they taught us how to carry ourselves as community members and act with integrity in the workplace. The community in Stern CS is also something special. Torah values are at the center, and everyone is willing to help each other. I remember landing my first tech internship at Jefferies as a sophomore because an older student told me about it and helped me prepare.
