	Meeting sessions will occur on designated days after school, one Saturday a month and one day during each of the school breaks. Depending on holiday schedules and other factors, there may be addition meetings to make sure the monthly minimum is met. New students will start with a required learning program that is generally completed over the course of 6 months where students will learn how computers operate and how programming works. For students continuing in the program after the initial learning, they will choose a pathway for learning. There is flexibility as far as the specific days and time slots that are scheduled.

	All interns are ~~expected~~ to attend a minimum of '''20 hours per month'''. This time will be spent on structured and independent learning projects. That time will be scheduled with the program coordinator. Students can sign up for extra time to get help with work on personal projects and to work on district projects to get hands-on practical experience. Students will also need to be able to do learning activities on their own time. These activities include reading assignments, videos to watch and research done independently.

	Additionally, there will be occasional opportunities to perform work "in the field" in order to help maintain District technologies and systems and gain practical experience. This program can provide an opportunity to serve the staff and students of the Shoreline School District while still being a student yourself.

	Taking AP Computer Science Principles and AP Computer Science A in high school will teach you many things about computers and programming. These classes will give you a high level understanding of what computers are used for and how to get them to do what you want them to do. But HOW computers work is another story. You will often hear that computers work in the binary number system and that transistors are the most important device that allow computers to work. Your learning experience in the internship will take you to the lower levels that are typically glossed over in most classes.

	For new interns, there is a multi-month learning curriculum to bring new students up to speed. The material gets VERY DEEP into how computers work. We get into computer mathematics, logic design, electronic circuits, computer architecture, low-level programming (Assembly), and high-level programming (Java, Perl). This can be quite intimidating as the topics explored are typically considered college level material. This learning experience makes sure students have a deep foundational understanding of how computers work and cements their skills in abstract thinking, causality and effective communication.

	Once new interns have completed the initial learning phase, they become full interns and have many more learning options and activities available. Interns are always engaged in learning activities and projects and they can decide what pathways to follow according to their interests. Where possible, interns will be assigned tasks/duties that coincide with their chosen learning pathways to enhance the learning experience. Currently, the program has learning pathways and projects that follow four tracks. Computer science, computer engineering/digital electronics, information technology and mechatronics.
