In June, MAD-learn hosted an electrifying remote event—Intern Insights—that brought together a vibrant mix of teachers, current interns, and alumni. This gathering was a treasure trove of information about MAD-learn’s internship program, designed to equip the attendees with essential information on how to succeed in the workforce. Attendees were eager to uncover what the program entailed, the opportunities it presented, and hear firsthand accounts from previous interns about their journeys. 

The event kicked off with an overview of what interns should expect from the program. The atmosphere was charged with curiosity and enthusiasm as the organizers laid out the events, projects, and mentorship opportunities awaiting the interns. It was heartening to see the level of detail and thoughtfulness that went into structuring the program, ensuring that each intern would walk away with a rich and varied skill set. Teachers in attendance were particularly impressed, noting how beneficial the program would be for their students. 

The highlight of the event was undoubtedly the student panel, featuring former interns who shared their experiences and insights. Their stories were not just informative but deeply inspiring, painting a vivid picture of growth, learning, and professional development. The panelists spoke candidly about the challenges they faced and the triumphs they achieved, leaving the audience captivated and motivated.   If you missed this session, be sure to mark your calendar for the next one—it’s an opportunity you won’t want to miss!
