League Labs
Build your college resume, learn new career relevant skills and have fun this summer.
LEAGUE Labs is our unpaid internship program for High School students to develop new LEAGUE classes. LEAGUE Labs Interns will create 1 hours classes, on a subject of their choice, and teach that class to other students in our Tech Club or Code Clinic programs. Interns will not only learn basic job skills, but can also explore a new topic, because the best way to really learn something is to try to teach it.
Interns in the program will gain important technical and soft skills with:
- Tools like Github, Github Codespaces and Visual Studio Code
- Programming
- Product development and Human Centered Design
- Marketing and Promotion ( you’ll need to beta test your class )
Learn both technical and soft jobs skillsSome of the technology topics that interns might create classes for are:
- Python, either basic python programming, or a specific type of program like web sites or data analysis.
- Java, from basic to advanced.
- Games, in Python or Javascript
- Robotics, especially FIRST FTC or FRC, Arduino, Micro:bit or Raspberry Pi
- Artificial Inteligence, either using it, programming it, or how to understand it.
What Will You Do?
LEAGUE Labs Interns will create one or more lessons on a topic of their choice. Some examples of curriculum they may create are the Motors Clinic or one of the lessons in our Python Games class. After selecting a topic, the Intern will follow a typical product development process that will include:
- Research other similar lessons for ideas
- Create a prototype of your class and beta test the prototype with your friends
- Collect feedback, make tickets, and track improvements
- Promote the class in the LEAGUE’s Code Clinic program
- Teach a class session of the class online an in-person.
Student will do about half of their work independently, and half in either group meetings or with a LEAGUE mentor.
