Cortex Internship for High School Students was designed as a unique program that provided third-year students from the “Vaso Aligrudić” Electro-Technical School with practical experience in the IT sector. A total of 28 students participated in the program, divided into seven teams, and their task was to create an information system for the school library.
The practical part of the program was carried out in seven ICT Cortex member companies – Alicorn, Amplitudo, Bild Studio, Coinis, Data Design, Logate, and Oykos Development. The students worked under the mentorship of 15 experienced professionals, following an agile methodology through seven iterations over a span of seven weeks. During this process, the students developed the application, uploaded the code to GitHub, implemented solutions on Confluence, and took a control exam. At the final presentation, an objective jury assessed all the presented web applications as functional and applicable.
The project was supported by Reconomy, Telekom, Logate Academy, Coca-Cola, and Duka Hosting, providing the necessary infrastructure and resources for the successful execution of the program.
This project represents an important step in bridging education and business, offering students the opportunity to get acquainted with the real working environment and apply the knowledge they gained in practice.
The project ran from April to December 2021, with a budget of €35,000.
