Build projects to get hired.
The gap
Connections and résumés don’t show
the work you have done.
- STEM students deserve a clearer path into labs and companies.
- Screening software reads numerous applications written by the same AI tools.
- The résumé is no longer a meaningful measure of one’s ability.
For Students
Projects are your edge.
Every project becomes part of your body of work.
In the lab
Research done under a principal investigator, with methods, data, and results to point to.
In student organizations
Teams that build, compete, and publish together, with each member’s part made clear.
On your own
Projects pursued out of curiosity, often the clearest sign of what a person will do unasked.
For Labs and Companies
Hire on evidence.
Companies and labs need to know if a student can do the work.
Search the work
Find students by their projects rather than by the keywords they chose to list.
Showcases
Improve with experience.
Showcases are funded by VergeSci, by nonprofits, and by employers.
Add every project to your record; strong work reaches the sponsors.
