Virtual Bell Experience Sessions Now Available
Due to the impact that COVID-19 has had on the world, we have now changed the Bell Experience to be a virtual session. The following information covers the in-person Bell Experiences which we will host again once the COVID-19 impact has been reduced. The virtual experience covers much of the same information that an in-person does, except that it has no cost or travel associated with it.

Student Testimonials
Katie’s top takeaways so far have been realizing that she is more qualified than she thought, it is important to find the motivation behind what you are learning, and applying for jobs can be a tedious process - something most students wouldn’t realize until the end of their education. - Katie Martindale, cohort 1

“Bell prepares you for your professional career by learning engineering while doing engineering work on your co-ops, which also helps mitigate the cost of student debt and allows you to make money while going to school.” - Andy Gaines, cohort 1

Misael’s top takeaways from Bell Academy to this point are that presentations and interviews get much easier the more you practice them, working on industry projects is hard, fun, and satisfying, and that the Bell Program is a transformative experience. - Misael Ponce, cohort 1
