MeeOpp Summer Internships For Secondary Students - Education Tech
Our secondary students in Year 10 -13 are being offered a fantastic summer internship opportunity with one of ESF’s partners - an education tech start-up called MeeOpp. The initiative was piloted at KGV and Principal Mark Blackshaw says: “This is an excellent opportunity for students to be involved with a cutting-edge start-up. Previous students were directly involved in the iterative design cycles, and their unique student insights helped to shape the Edtech product. Our students left with unique and authentic experiences, and an ability to engage across a range of tasks and processes. A MeeOpp internship is real, interactive and exciting. It will be time well invested.”
