Internship Projects

Any Internship project at Skyland Community High School is expected to meet several criteria. Each project is:

• academically rigorous for the student;
• relevant to the student’s interests and to the Internship site’s professional needs;
• deepened by the Mentor’s expertise and relationship with the student; and
• designed to produce an ultimate project that can be held to real-world standards by the Internship site.

Some examples of Internship projects at Skyland include:

• a documentary filmed and produced for the local public television station;
• a fully-illustrated year-long training program for the men’s hockey team at University of Denver;
• a reel of ten pieces of original animation for a film production company;
• a marketing plan, marketing materials and full planning of an event for a nonprofit organization;
• a neighborhood survey and a new programming plan for a local recreation center, based on results of the survey;
• a software application to help schools, including Skyland, keep track of student attendance for a software design firm;
• a business plan and organic cook book for starting a restaurant;
• a new jingle written and recorded for a local radio station;
• a series of lessons on the art of Georgia O’Keefe for Montessori students;
• a piece of pottery exemplifying elements of classical and graffiti art for University
