Get Real-World Experience, Work with a Non-Profit & Demonstrate Programming Excellence.
At CodeWizardsHQ, our approach goes beyond just teaching kids and teens to code. Led by an experienced CodeWizardsHQ instructor, interns participate in small groups to build projects that solve real-world problems. By the end of the program, students will launch a live full-stack application available to the public and get a head start down their chosen career path.
Only Coding School That Offers an Internship Program!
Stand Out in College Applications
Participating in our internship program showcases your student’s dedication towards their career goals. This experience not only enriches their college applications beyond academic achievements and extracurricular activities but also provides tangible benefits, bolstering their resume when compared amongst peers. Upon completion, students receive an internship completion letter, an official transcript, and a recommendation letter, all of which serve to strengthen their application credentials.
Real-World Programming Experience
Students apply all their hard-earned skills and work with real-world tools like Git, GitHub, and Trello to create a project that has real-world implications. This hands-on experience not only enhances their software development abilities but also hones their teamwork, leadership, and problem-solving skills. Unlike traditional classroom settings, this internship encourages independence and ownership, giving your student a feel for what real-world programming is like.
Make an Impact With Your Coding Internship
In contrast to other programs that often focus on exercises, our internship empowers your student to develop and launch a live full-stack application to the public. The software solutions they create will address genuine problems (like password protection) and tackle real-world challenges. This hands-on experience adds substantial value to their portfolio and provides them with the gratification of witnessing their coding skills make a tangible impact. It’s an experience in professional development most high school students will never get.
Throughout the entirety of the Internship, students benefit from mentorship by seasoned professionals and receive comprehensive career development support.
Our graduates go on to pursue degrees at some of the nation’s top colleges and universities

Easy answers to some common questions
Does the student have to travel for the internship?
Through this offering, students will work remotely with a team of peers around the world.

What are the days of the week and hours of the internship?
Our interns are required to commit three to six hours a week for approximately three months depending on the scope of the project. Participants will be required to meet with their team once a week to assess progress and assign responsibilities.
Is this a paid internship?
This is an unpaid internship. The payment from students goes towards the successful management of the program, all the software and tools used, payment to mentors, and the CWHQ Scholarship Fund.
