🚨We just announced a THIRD track for the MLH Fellowship! Find out what it's all about: !🚨See What's New →
The MLH Explorer Fellowship is a 12 week internship alternative for students interested in becoming software engineers. You'll build out your portfolio of personal projects & experiment with new technologies by collaborating in small groups on a series of short hackathon sprints.
This program offers part-time options year round. We plan to experiment with a full-time option in the future.
Every two weeks you'll have a new real-world project to add to your resume. Each sprint has theme that challenges you to experiment with new technologies and explore your interests. Each project is unique to you and your small group, these aren't the same old boring class projects you see all the time.
Each hackathon sprint has its own theme that challenges you to explore your interests. We'll bring in industry experts and founders who have startups in the space to talk to you abot the real challenges they face every day. You'll hear their stories first-hand.
During each hackathon sprint you'll have the chance to work with a new set of collaborators. You'll learn what it's like to work together on a project and build strong connections that will last beyond the fellowship.
You'll be placed into a small group called a 'Pod' that consists of 20 students and a professional mentor. Your mentor only has one job during the fellowship – help you level up as quickly and as much as possible. You'll be able to go to them for advice, debugging, and everything in between.
We know that a great internship isn't just about work. We designed this program to be a valuable educational experience with plenty of opportunities for you to build your professional network and have fun too. You can expect an event each week designed to help you learn, build, and share. Hackathons, workshops, socials, and so much more.
Fellowship applications are processed on a rolling basis and close a few weeks before the start of each batch.
