Jayden’s journey is a powerful example of what’s possible when states invest in innovation. From launching his own STEM camp to mentoring younger students, Jayden is turning his education into impact. His story reveals the human side of Florida’s semiconductor strategy and shows how experiential learning, entrepreneurship, and community engagement can shape the future of tech, one student at a time.
