Dream of working at a top tech company? Join us!

Work with your mentor & two other students.

Tell us what you love in technology, and where you want your career to take you. We'll match you with the perfect industry mentor and up to two other students at your skill level.

(Beginner-track attendees: we'll match you with a former intern from a tech company who has time to provide you with more support.)

Create or contribute to real-world, open-source projects.

Learn to ship real software that helps real people using the latest industry tools. (Ever wondered what “Kubernetes” is? Or how to set up a GraphQL backend in Typescript?)

It's like a real-world internship at a leading tech company, but 100% online.

CodeDay Labs has daily opportunities to learn from leaders and build a professional network.

Get ready to land your dream job or internship next year.

Our students have daily opportunities to do practice interviews and get resume feedback from tech hiring managers and recruiters.

Multiple tracks. What's your experience level?

Beginner Track

A guided experience which is best for people with some CS knowledge, but who don't have prior experience working on complex projects.

This is probably the right track for you if you're a high school student who's taken AP CS A or equivalent course, or a college student with 101-level experience in CS or Engineering.

You'll work with an older student, a current/former tech intern, who will guide you through your first experience building something with real-world implications.

($250 fee if accepted; many scholarships available.)

Intermediate/Advanced Track

This track is the most similar to a traditional in-person internship, for those students who have higher-level CS knowledge or significant experience building projects.

This is the right track for you if you're a college student with experience beyond the 101/102-level CS or Engineering classes, or a student who has built projects on your own time.

You'll be matched with a mentor from the technology industry, like at most traditional in-person internships, and will build a polished app/feature.

(No fee; not a paid internship.)

We've helped thousands of students get their start in technology since 2009.

I loved being able to work as a team and gain real world experience about coding but at the same time also having the opportunity to learn something new.

Kelly Dong, Labs Advanced-Track

Being a Venezuelan immigrant, Labs was the first time that I got true exposure to a community of tech people that I could rely on. Fast forward a couple of years and now I'm three and a half months away from graduating college and have a job as a SWE at the Microsoft HQ right after I graduate.

Daniel Lobaton, Labs Beginner-Track

I began my CodeDay Labs internship with no background in using React Native, but came out of this internship knowing the ins and outs of React Native thanks to my team and my mentor, Eric. I highly recommend CodeDay Labs as a chance to apply your knowledge to real-world applications

Vivian Wang, Labs Beginner-Track

I really enjoyed learning how to use new technology such as Angular, Node, Sequelize, and Joi. Working with my teammates and interacting with each other was one of my favorite parts of this internship. Just helping each other out, working, learning, and growing together as developers was really great. Also the mentor was very helpful.

Alain Nshimirimana, Labs Advanced-Track

My experience as a CodeDay Labs intern certainly exceeded my expectations. My favorite part about being an intern was getting to learn and work with Python Django. I found working with Django to be difficult yet also fun. At the beginning of the internship, because I only had experience with ReactJS, I thought I would only be working on the frontend component of the app which we built. However, I ended up only working with ReactJS (i.e. the frontend) for about a week before I became responsible for the backend. I'm really glad I got this exposure because I found that I enjoy working with backend-related stuff.

AltML
Beginner Track

Mentor: Saharsh Yeruva, RM at CodeDay

A chrome extension that looks at all the images on a webpage. If there is an image that does not have an alt tag, use ml to generate one so that screen-readers can actually recognize it.

Alexandrie-Based Rust Crate Registry
Advanced Track

Mentor: Ankit Gupta and Kat Ngov, Lead at Transparent Systems

#rust #crates.io #rustlang #OSS #cloud #docker #kubernetes #k8s

Crates.io is the default, public package registry used by rust developers everywhere.

Developers often want the means to privately publish crates (rust packages), so they can continue to follow best practices to version and release software internal to their teams or businesses.

Current solutions for a private crates registry are hard to find and very costly. However, there exists an open source implementation of the crates registry API one can easily run on their local machine - "Alexandrie" at https://github.com/Hirevo/alexandrie.

In this internship, we will build on Alexandrie to provide an open-source solution that others can use to more easily deploy a private crates registry to cloud providers.

We will be using docker, and developing the reference solution to be deployable to a Kubernetes cluster in one of the major cloud providers (Azure, GCP, AWS).

In addition to developing a solution others can use, we'll learn how to use Kubernetes to deploy, scale, and manage applications.

Join this project to work with great cloud tooling and contribute to the growing and exciting Rust ecosystem!

Ambientflix
Advanced Track

Mentor: Ed Bukoski, Engineer at Netflix

Create movie and TV show recommendations based on signals from your ambient environment. Imagine visiting Netflix and seeing a recommendation row based on your local weather, current geographical location, local news, or the past hour of your personal Twitter feed!

We will divide up into two teams. One team will source data from weather services, Twitter API, news feeds, or any other source that has data from the local environment. The second team will use these as input to query movie data from themoviedb.org and form a list of movie and TV show recommendations (bonus for links to streaming services where this content is hosted). We will figure out the final presentation format as we go, it could be a command line, REST (JSON) API, or a web site.
