    Virtual internships mentored by

    technology leaders.
    CodeDay Labs is a project-focused summer experience which
    helps CS departments increase the diversity, graduation rate,
    and career outcomes of their students.

    During CodeDay Labs, students work with a mentor from the


    technology industry to build an open-source project to solve a
    real-world need. Along the way, they attend tech talks and
    expert lunches, and prepare for their job search with practice
    interviews and resume feedback.

    With three experience level tracks, CodeDay Labs helps


    students pursue their CS education and career from their
    freshman year through graduation.
