Responsible Tech Internship (Applications Accepted on a Rolling Basis)

About the Internship

This internship is a 2-3 month (negotiable) experience for self-starting secondary school-age or university-age students who are eager to create impact at the intersection of technology, ethics, business, academia, and policy.  This is our second internship year and there are 3 internship spots available.  Preference will be given to those who can commit to a minimum of 2 months.

You will join a small, interdisciplinary team that works remotely across Hong Kong and other parts of Asia and the USA.  The organisation is largely democratically run, and interns will have the opportunity to leave their footprint on a growing company that works at the intersection of tech ethics, research and business. The interns will gain exposure to various work streams within the company, including content development for students like themselves, research, and partnership management of schools and NGOs.  There will be opportunities for direct mentorship from the leadership team in many of these areas, and interns’ preferences and backgrounds will be taken into account in designing the internship experience.

Priority projects this year will include:

• Conducting market research and collecting testimonies and feedback from students ages 10-18 across Asians school networks regarding their preferences in learning about AI ethics, misinformation, cyber resilience and other digital literacy topics;

• Support our annual Cyber Ethics Hackathon, which takes place across Asia and beyond each summer, and allow students to identify an important digital literacy issue affecting their communities and work to create educational training content for younger students to educate them on the same problem and solutions all in one sitting

• Designing bite-sized educational content for adolescents about digital literacy that is both fun and imparts knowledge and skills

Past projects from interns last year included:

• Researching academic articles and synthesizing data on teenage mental health in a digital world

• Gathering anonymised testimonies and case studies from their social networks to document real-life cybersafety (doxxing, phishing, deepfakes) issues in order to design relevant solutions

• Writing articles and creating infographics on ethical uses of AI, definitions of misinformation vs. disinformation and more

• Drafting educational trainings on cybersafety, cyberbullying, and data management for middle and high school audiences

We encourage students from underrepresented backgrounds in tech and STEM to apply, including (but not limited to) women / girls, transgender and LGBTQIA+ individuals, first-generation students, and neurodiverse students or individuals with differing abilities.

Who you are

If most the following descriptors match you, this internship is for you:

• You have strong opinions about how the world could be made a better place (socially and environmentally) and want to be part of those changes

• You are currently a student between the ages of 13-22 years old enrolled in a secondary school or university

• You are interested in working as part of a cross-cultural, global team

• You are an interdisciplinary thinker and feel motivated and excited when working at the intersection of various subject matters and concepts

• You are a self-starter and know how to manage your own time effectively to execute tasks or complete projects

Location

The internship is expected to be performed remotely, as long as you have a strong wifi connection. Preference will be given to students based in Asia time zones, as the Hackathon will be taking place across those geographies.
