Curriculum Development Internships

Interns are assigned to either create or improve a specific curriculum. This is the perfect opportunity for anyone who is interested in computer science or education! High school and college students are welcome to apply.

  • Providing training/orientation on how to develop each part of curriculum
  • Assigning interns to two mentors who will assist them (a Curriculum Lead and an Intern Lead).
