🚀 About the Opportunity

Break Into Tech is looking for a driven, creative college student who wants to learn about instructional design and build something real to help our students break into tech!

  • In this internship, you’ll support the Break Into Tech instructional designer by improving existing resources and creating new materials for students.
  • This 6-week internship pays up to $1000 (details below).
  • We're happy to support students seeking academic credit for this internship. We can provide an offer letter and/or LinkedIn recommendation, complete school forms, and submit a final evaluation if needed.
  • This internship is perfect for students interested in education, educational technology, data science, accessibility, SQL, etc.,; and who want to build a real project that will impact thousands of learners!

 

🎓 What is an instructional designer?

An instructional designer creates lessons, materials, assessments, and other resources for educational purposes. We use principles of adult learning theory to ensure that information is clear, impactful, and accessible to all learners. In other words, we get to learn new things and share that knowledge with others!

 

🛠️ What You’ll Learn

  • Pedagogy basics - how people learn, and how to teach them in online settings
  • Instructional design skills, including making lessons and assignments
  • Creating engaging and interactive lessons
  • Ensuring accessibility in remote learning environments
  • How to create practice SQL data sets and write questions for assessments

 

💼 What You’ll Do

You’ll be responsible for

  • attending 10 hours of lessons on instructional design and accessible remote learning.
  • small assignments to indicate mastery of lesson material
  • medium assignments that contribute to Break Into Tech

🎯 What We’re Looking For

  • Interest in instructional design, SQL, data science, edtech, accessibility
  • Desire to build real-world projects
  • Curiosity, independence, and eagerness to learn
  • Some experience with basic/intermediate SQL (equivalent of completing Break Into Tech modules 1-3 - e.g., JOINs, subqueries, GROUP BY, HAVING)
    • Willing to work hard and learn something new? You can still apply if you’re not familiar with SQL! If so, we can push back the internship start so that you can complete modules 1 through 3.

 

💵 💲Compensation

You will receive up to $1,000 in compensation, divided between hourly pay and a bonus for completing the final project on schedule:

  • $800: 50 hours of assignments @ $16 / hour

We're also happy to provide a glowing recommendation, LinkedIn endorsement, or whatever else you need to make the next step in your career easier. :)
