Paid intern position for mobile app workshop
THIS POST IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE
Over the summer we plan to develop a schools workshop to engage kids in Computer Science through the development of games for mobile devices. We are looking for a Birmingham student to pay to develop the material for the workshop, specifically the software infrastructure necessary to allow school-age children to develop simple, engaging apps using a drag-and-drop approach (e.g. using App Inventor). To apply for this position you should meet the following criteria:
- be University of Birmingham student, ideally in the School of Computer Science
- able to be in Birmingham for 10 weeks over the summer (timing is flexible)
- a strong programmer, preferably experienced in mobile app development (Android)
- a good communicator
- willing to assist in follow-up work, e.g. taking the resulting work into schools in the area
If you’d like to apply, please email a short statement describing your relevant experience and why you’re interested in the position to Nick Hawes (n.a.hawes@cs.bham.ac.uk) by 5pm on June 5th. Please also attach your academic transcripts/software workshop grades. Pay will be up to £180/week.
