The North Carolina Business Committee for Education in partnership with Lenovo is proud to present the 5th Annual Ready, Set, App! competition. This is a mobile app building competition open to all NC high schoolers. It serves as a great opportunity for students to develop skills in design thinking by having them find creative and innovative solutions to problems in their community.
Each year Ready, Set, App! employs high school interns to act as peer mentors to the teams in this competition. They will work alongside the teams to offer support as they navigate through the competition. This support can be technical support, like helping to troubleshoot code or map out designs, or it can be non-technical support such as advising on time management and delegating workloads. We are looking for students with both the technical and interpersonal skills to be successful in this position.
This is a paid internship, and the work is remote. It’s a great opportunity for students to get real work experience. We encourage all interested students to apply. To be eligible you must be a 9th – 12th grade student enrolled in an NC high school. The internship will run through both the Fall 2023 and Spring 2024 semesters. Applications are due Sunday, October 15th, 2023, at 11:59 PM.
To apply to be an intern, visit www.ncbce.org/ready-set-app.
For any questions, please reach out to Ciera Tucker, NCBCE Program Manager, at ciera.tucker@nc.gov.
