01 — The Sprint
48 to 72 hours to ship something real against a live company brief, no busywork, no filing.
SPRINT · JUDGE · GET HIRED
The internship is dead. Enter the arena.
Multi-day build sprints where hungry newcomers battle real briefs live, get judged by hiring companies, and walk out with an offer instead of a coffee run.
The gauntlet: sprint, judge, get hired
Forget the six-month errand marathon. You get a real brief, a real deadline, and a room full of companies watching you build. Survive the sprint, face the judges, land the job.
02 — The Judging
Present your build to hiring managers who score you on the work, not your resume padding.
03 — The Offer
Top performers get scouted on the spot and fast-tracked to interviews, trials, and paid roles.
