We have created a "Grow Unit" that will be managed by a hardware/software unit called the LGS Gardner. As we work in versions, there is always work to be done.
With new and improved versions coming in the next few weeks/months. The LGS Gardner hardware is on an Arduino board with several features. An Arduino board is also used for other projects in which the boards communicate and linked with other tools. Due to this, our interns will be working together with various teams ranging from engineers to our science team. Giving them the whole perspective on how broad a company is.
During this internship, students are treated as equals. We value their opinions and ask them to present their opinions to discuss the topics and potentially adapt our marketing plan accordingly. The main benefit of seeing all stages of development is giving interns the freedom to develop their skill set.
Skills students will develop:
- Project management
- Communication in a virtual environment
- Familiarity with tools like Discord, Asana and GitLab
- Taking responsibility
- Presentation skills for a business environment.
Some example deliverables that students can complete may include, but are not limited to:
- Creation/improving the Arduino hardware
- Creation/improving the Arduino software
- Instruction video of how to create the board
