Teams of Sprinterns™ are placed in your company for 3-week, paid micro-internships — critical experiences to have on their resumes.

What you’ll do:

• Develop a three-week technical challenge project for a team of five Sprinterns™
• Develop networking or mentorship programming to teach our students about your company
• Stay in touch — many of our Sprinterns™ go on to intern or work for their former host organizations!

Our students benefit from women mentors in the field to cultivate their leadership and network. Mentor a small cohort of students to prepare them to begin their careers in machine learning and AI.

• Facilitate curriculum-based mentorship program to a small group of 4-5 students
• Complete 9 meetings over 9 months from August 2022 to April 2023
• Complete some offline review and feedback of student portfolio artifacts

Offer up a real-world machine learning project challenge and a volunteer advisor from your company so that students can learn in real time and build their portfolio toward launching a career in tech.

What’s involved:

• Your company identifies an employee volunteer with AI/ML expertise to submit a challenge.
• If their challenge is accepted, the employee is onboarded as an AI Studio Challenge Advisor and matched with a team of 4-5 students. (In New York, each project will be assigned to two teams, and companies will be asked to provide a Challenge Advisor for each team.)
• The Challenge Advisor provides guidance to their team throughout the fall – meeting virtually every two weeks to answer questions and share feedback – and convenes an audience for the students’ final presentation in December.

Our programs teach real-world tech skills — interview our students for open internship or full-time positions across the country.

What you’ll do:

• Share relevant internship or full time opportunities with our students
• Host an information session or technical workshop for our students
• Participate in Break Through Tech’s virtual career fair

In just one week, help get first-year undergraduates excited about computer science and a tech career. Provide a group of product coaches to work with teams of students designing and developing their first “app.”

What you’ll do:

• Work with students just testing the water of computer science in a quick, introductory program
• Showcase careers that utilize a computing education
• Serve as mentors and role models for undergraduates new to computing

Our innovations are made possible by the support of generous funders.
