Some students are lucky enough to be accepted as student scientists on a JASON Project expedition. Drew Allison joined the JASON Project team for the XIII expedition and states that he feels likes JASON Project because curiosity is vital for increasing knowledge in order to continue finding new and better ways to solve problems.

"I feel that somehow my decision to turn to computers as a career was also helped by the expedition as without computers there would be no JASON Project."

-- Chris Summers, Plano, Texas


"My JASON experience has given me the insight to explore the educational status quo, and the motivation to change it for the better. To change the educational system and prioritize effective technology use, my goal is to work on increasing partnerships between business and education. I want to shape the future of education in this country, and JASON has given me a very solid background to accept that challenge."

-- Beth Morrison, Troy, Mich.


"As a result of JASON I am taking every possible AP science course, because I am able to relate almost all of it back to what practical knowledge I have learned (through JASON).

-- Heidi Kuglin, Dallas, Texas


"Although I am only 16, I am sure about my career plans, something I was completely confused about a little less than a year ago. I plan to continue working with the JASON Project as much as I can because in the future I want to be one of those scientists, teachers, or computer and technology people from EDS who contribute to making the JASON Project the greatest thing a kid can encounter."

-- Jaclyn Shull, Miami, Fla.


"(Through JASON) I realized that science is a strong cohesive element in our everyday lives and affects us in unthinkable ways. I took Biology II last year as a junior and basically flew through the course. JASON boosted my confidence when it came to dealing with scientific matters in school."
