Summer 2026 Internship · Now closed

Thank you.
That's a wrap.

Applications for the Summer 2026 cohort are closed, and the cohort is full. We're grateful to everyone who applied — the range of curiosity, hustle, and half-finished side projects you sent us made the decisions genuinely hard.

The program below stays up so you can see exactly what we run. We expect to open the next cohort for Summer 2027. If you'd like to know the moment it does, leave your email and you'll hear from us before we post it anywhere else.

What you'll do

Real projects. Real clients. Real shipping.

You won't be making slides or running errands. Every intern is assigned to an active OCT project and ships work that customers actually use — alongside business, arts, technology, and law students in a mixed team you'd see in any real job.

Build modern apps

Work in a real codebase. Learn Git, code review, deploys, and why shipping small-and-often beats shipping perfect-and-never.

Track AI every week

AI and agentic AI don't sit still, and neither do we. Every week we look at what's new — together.

A free top-tier course

Pick a course from MIT, Harvard, Stanford, or UCLA — OCT pays the certificate fee when you finish.

Present what you built

At the end, we present what we made — portfolio, certificate, and a recommendation you actually earned.
