-
Our organization is able to offer a virtual internship opportunity for 1 computer science student or team.
The primary focus for the student will be:
- Website Development - Conducting a needs analysis to determine which platform is most suitable for our website; creating a design proposal including mock-ups, budget, and timeline; building a fully-functioning website for our organization.
- Application Development - Selecting the best technologies for creating the application or feature (i.e. a real-time chat function); creating a fully-functioning application.
- Application Programming Interfaces - Redesigning an existing API to simplify it; changing API technologies; designing a new API; creating or updating public-facing documentation.
- Real-Time Data Visualization - Creating a charting system with basic querying functionality; creating a dashboard to visualize key performance metrics of our organization or tool.
Our goal at the end of this experience is:
- Website Development - For the student(s) to complete a fully functioning website.
- Application Development - For the student(s) to create a fully functioning application.
- Application Programming Interfaces - For the student(s) to help us redesign an interface.
- Real-Time Data Visualization - For the student(s) to help us devise and implement a data visualization system to help our organization derive insights to inform decision-making.
Other duties the student may complete could include:
- Assisting with other process improvement projects
- Responding to IT/Service Desk requests
We will plan to communicate with our virtual intern using these communication tools:
- Riipen
- Zoom
Student's primary contact: Maya Ewert, Operations Manager
Secondary contact: Simon Bell, Executive Director

The FoN program delivers experiential learning opportunities for young people to acquire creative, technical and critical skills in photography, enabling them to use this medium as a tool for exploring the natural world. FoN strives to enhance the physical and emotional well-being of children by providing them with meaningful experiences in the outdoors. Children are taught how to “see” the beauty of nature through the lens of a digital camera; and how to connect with nature while appreciating their own photographs of the natural world. A goal of the program is to foster in young people a genuine interest in, and appreciation for, nature as a key step toward long-term environmental stewardship.
