Internships
Internship Philosophy
OLPC views internships as relationships carried out over a span of months or longer between OLPC and people who are interested in developing themselves by tackling problems relevant to the OLPC Mission. Many of these internships have been technical in nature but some of been conducted in other domains such as deployment, legal affairs, and content development. Most internships have been conducted on a volunteer basis; some have been funded by OLPC or its partners, and a few have led to full-time employment. Some of the internships take place at the OLPC offices in Cambridge and most involve a close working relationship with an established member of the OLPC community (who is sometimes but not always an OLPC employee). Finally, many interns have been involved in the OLPC community both before and after their internship.
