Student Internship Program
The Every Learner Everywhere Student Internship Program began in Spring of 2021 as the Student Fellowship Program. The Fellowship program was a six-month-long, project-based fellowship that enabled Fellows to work on interest and skill-aligned projects and develop meaningful professional relationships with a variety of Every Learner network partners. In Spring of 2023, we launched the Student Internship Program, which will allow us to take on five to eight student interns per year for 12-week terms. The Every Learner internship is both paid and remote.
Every Learner Spring 2025 Student Interns
Noel Berhanu | University of Maryland
Hey there, I’m Noel Berhanu, a junior at the University of Maryland, College Park studying Computer Science! I started coding at a young age, and that early curiosity quickly grew into a passion for software development and problem-solving. Over the years, I’ve honed my skills through coursework, personal projects, and hands-on experience. I love exploring new technologies and tackling challenges that push me to think creatively and critically.
Outside of academics, I’m the President of CodeBlack, where I work to create a supportive community for underrepresented students in tech. I also actively participate in hackathons on campus, constantly seeking opportunities to learn and collaborate with others. This spring, I’m excited to be an intern for Every Learner Everywhere, where I look forward to applying my skills to make a meaningful impact in education and technology.
