How Recruitment Works
Our recruitment journey kicks off with interactive info sessions at local libraries in Los Gatos, Saratoga, and Cupertino (with potential dates in Campbell, Vineland, and Cambrian if needed). These 30–45 minute interactive sessions are the heart of our process—students will have the chance to present their interest and even drive our competition robot! It is a dedicated time for both parents and students to ask questions, meet the team, and see if Javajuice is the right fit.
