As we conclude the Init Skopje Summer School 2024 program, we celebrate the journey our Interns: Petar, Ivan, Mila, Gorjan, Matej and Martin have taken from eager learners to emerging professionals. The program offered hands-on projects that challenged them to develop full-stack solutions, working with IoT devices, cloud platforms, and cutting-edge technologies.
Our Interns worked on diverse projects, such as developing a web application to manage IoT devices and a digital twin system that monitored sensor data in real time. By contributing to both the backend and frontend, they gained invaluable skills in .NET, Angular, and Azure services. These projects also required problem-solving, collaboration, and real-world application of classroom concepts, bridging the gap between academic learning and professional execution.
From developing backend APIs to managing the frontend UI in an Agile environment, our Interns had the opportunity to experience several aspects of the professional working - as they also took on leadership roles such as Product Owner or Scrum Master. This versatility enabled them to sharpen not only technical skills but also teamwork, adaptability, and time management.
Their efforts led to the successful deployment of real-time IoT systems, setting up robust data pipelines and optimizing APIs to ensure smooth communication between cloud services and user interfaces. The projects culminated in responsive web applications with real-time monitoring and alert systems. These accomplishments proved the power of teamwork and Agile methodology in delivering innovative, functional solutions.
The Init Skopje Summer School 2024 program exceeded our Interns' expectations, providing a nurturing environment where creativity, technical growth, and mentorship flourished. Through engaging tasks, the support of experienced colleagues, and the friendships formed within the teams, the experience was both rewarding and enlightening. For many, this internship became a stepping stone for future ambitions, especially in cloud technologies and full-stack development.
Martin, Mila, Petar, Ivan, Gorjan and Matej and are eager to continue exploring the tech world and expand their skillsets, keeping a strong focus on self-improvement and lifelong learning.
What is their message to future Interns?
The key advice shared by our Interns for future participants is to embrace every learning moment and focus on building meaningful relationships. With the right mix of curiosity, determination, and teamwork, the Init Skopje Summer School offers more than just technical skills - it provides a chance to grow as a professional.
