A year ago we took on our first cohort of interns from . We didn’t have a building yet, so they met in our founder’s living room and worked on projects out of the garage. Now we have partnerships with CAGD, and and a new cohort of summer interns. We’ve created an intern program where students not only get course credit, but every week they get hands on experience learning new things. This week it was learning how to dissemble and rebuild PCs. Some of our previous interns even dropped by to join in on the fun. Our goal at Tech Toss is that our students walk away with deeper knowledge of technology, new friendships, and more confidence.
