Structured engineering internships

Build real projects.
Prove your skills.
Earn verifiable experience.

A remote engineering internship with weekly sprints, real deliverables, and evaluation against a published rubric. You finish with work you can show and a credential an employer can check.

Real deliverables Evaluated every week Verifiable credential Free for students
Why we exist

Universities teach the theory. Industry hires on evidence.

Students graduate able to pass exams and stuck on their first real ticket. The programs that close that gap usually charge tuition, which excludes the people who need them most.

DeepTrics runs the internship the way a team would: a brief, a deadline, a review, and a record of what you actually produced. AI handles evaluation at a scale humans cannot, which is what lets us keep it free for every student, in any country.

How it works

From application to verifiable credential

Twelve stages, in the order they actually happen. No step here is aspirational.

  1. 01

    Application

    Pick a program and write a short statement of purpose.

  2. 02

    Selection

    Applications are reviewed and answered by email — approved, waitlisted, or not this time.

  3. 03

    Offer

    Approved interns receive a formal offer letter with program terms and dates.

  4. 04

    Onboarding

    Your workspace opens with week one already waiting — no delay between approval and work.

  5. 05

    Weekly sprints

    Weeks unlock in order. Finish one to open the next early, or wait for its date.

  6. 06

    Assignment

    Each week states its objective, its tasks, and exactly what you hand in.

  7. 07

    Submission

    Write up what you shipped and what you decided, and link the work itself.

  8. 08

    AI evaluation

    Your submission is evaluated against that week's plan — scored across five dimensions, with written feedback.

  9. 09

    Revision

    Act on the feedback and resubmit. The week is re-evaluated on the new work.

  10. 10

    Human review

    Request an expert reviewer when a week warrants one. Their review closes that week.

  11. 11

    Completion

    Your program is reviewed as a whole and marked complete.

  12. 12

    Credential

    A credential is issued with its own ID — verifiable by anyone, without an account.

How you're evaluated

Judged on demonstrated engineering, not completion.

Every submission is scored against the same published rubric, out of 100. You see the score and the reasoning each week, so you know what to change before the next sprint — not at the end.

Technical proficiency

25

Whether the work is correct, and whether the approach holds up under the constraints it was built for.

Delivery against the brief

25

How much of the week's stated objective actually shipped, judged against that week's plan rather than a generic checklist.

Communication

20

Whether someone who wasn't there could follow what you built, what you decided, and why.

Ownership

15

Initiative, follow-through, and how you handle the parts of the work nobody assigned you.

Learning

15

Evidence you went past the literal ask — and that last week's feedback shows up in this week's work.

AI and humans

AI does the evaluation. People do the judgement.

Reviewing every submission from every intern, every week, is not something a human team can do for free. That part is automated so the human attention goes where it counts.

What the AI evaluator does

  • Evaluates every weekly submission against that week's specific plan, not a generic checklist
  • Scores five defined dimensions and writes feedback naming what to change next
  • Re-evaluates from scratch when you revise and resubmit
  • Runs under a hard daily spend cap, so evaluation stays free to use

It evaluates submitted work. It is not a chat assistant, and it does not hold ongoing conversations or review code on request.

What people do

  • Author the curriculum every intern works through
  • Review any week an intern escalates, and close it with their own assessment
  • Decide applications, completion, and whether a credential is issued

Expert review is requested per week, when the work warrants a second opinion — not automatic on every submission.

Credentials

A credential an employer can check themselves.

Finish the program and a credential is issued with its own permanent ID, printed on your certificate alongside a QR code. Anyone can confirm it — no account, no request to us. It shows the program, its length and the completion date, and never your contact details or your individual scores.
