Our small business, ThoughtSTEM, is a partner of LEARN. As partners, we provide 1-month internship experiences for LEARN students after they learn Ruby/Javascript for 3 months. It’s been a fantastic partnership – LEARN students have been excellently proficient after only 3 months of coding education and they always contribute positively to the projects they work on with us. We’ve had two groups of LEARN interns so far who worked on: (1) designing back-end software that we use manage our after-school coding programs for kids all around San Diego; (2) developing features of a virtual reality video game that will be used to teach people how to code in the future. In addition to internships, LEARN also hosts a variety of awesome community events which we have attended. They recently moved to a beautiful space downtown. And, in general, they are really fantastic people who love what they do!
