About the Internship

The SolarSPELL Initiative is seeking creative, detail-oriented, and globally-minded interns to develop offline, self-paced digital training courses.

This is a meaningful opportunity to contribute to educational equity by helping educators and students in underserved regions gain confidence and skills in using digital learning tools.
