Experience feedback
Not sure how to describe this experience other than very confusing. Our project was accepted on Dec 14 after which the course admins went radio silent with no further communications. The course was supposed to start on Dec 16 with the project scope meeting but that came and went with no further messages or acknowledgement, even though from what we could see 5 others were added to the conversation message. We were left very disappointed by this experience.

This project had a specific focus and scope which was helpful to provide a project idea to the Educator. Grant, the Educator for our group was responsive and simplified the process. We would gladly work with Edge Up again for this kind of placement or other tech skills placements in the future.
