== Meeting Location ==
[[File:SLC.png|thumb|Shoreline Center Location.]]
Interns meet at the Shoreline School District Information Technology Department. This is located at the district central office (next to the Shoreline Stadium near I-5 and NE 185th Street) located at:
:'''Shoreline Center'''
:18560 1st Ave NE
:Shoreline, WA 98155
[https://www.google.com/maps/@47.7642705,-122.3269118,797m/data=!3m1!1e3 (Location on Google Maps)]

The IT Department is located at the North end of the campus in building H. This can be found by going into the North parking lot entrance near the tennis courts and soccer field. The H building is at the South edge of the parking lot.

The internship program is run by the network services staff in the IT department. Interns meet in the technology learning lab and the network services office.

'''Note:''' Make sure to verify the location on the map. Many people mistakenly head to Shoreline Community College. The Shoreline Center is not associated with the college. Geographically, the complex is 10 blocks North of the Shoreline Library.

'''''Summer Session Starting July 15, 2023'''''
* Every '''Wednesday''' and '''Thursday'''. Start time is '''9:00 AM''' and concludes at '''1:00 PM'''.
* Every other '''Saturday''' every month. Start time is '''9:00 AM''' and concludes at '''4:00 PM'''.

* '''A minimum of one day during each school break''' (Winter Break, Mid-Winter Break, Spring Break). Start time '''9:00 AM''' and concludes at '''4:00 PM'''.
''(Students must bring lunch or have meal arrangements for the long days)''

'''''Flexible Schedule'''''

After the first year, new interns who decide to continue within the program obtain the status of full intern. Interns who are up to the challenge are highly encouraged to enter into the Running Start program in Junior and/or Senior years as this can save on long-term college costs and provide students with commensurate educational experience. This also has the benefit of providing more flexibility to class schedules. Interns will decide as a group the meeting times and what projects they will be working on.

'''''Other meeting opportunities'''''

Interns can sign up for extra time in the electronics labs or other resources with approval from the internship coordinator. These time slots are typically scheduled on '''Fridays''' from '''2:30 PM''' to '''6:00 PM''' or on '''Saturdays'''. ''Scheduling these days require at least 3 interns to agree to the time commitment.''
