SparkShop hosts a paid summer internship program for Chicago-based high schoolers. Interns at SparkShop learn valuable workforce development skills, work independently and in groups on projects in areas of interest such as engineering / community engagement / marketing / business, and have opportunities to network with industry professionals. No engineering or STEM experience is necessary. A strong sense of curiosity, motivation, and commitment are all important to succeed in this opportunity.
Our Summer 2025 Internship will take place July 14-25, 2025! Learn more about the program and how to apply here!
