In more concrete terms, at the end of the internship, we expect our interns, both the student and faculty interns to be able to develop a worthwhile web application or contribute significantly to an open source project of their choice.

We hope then that what they will learn in this exercise will be passed on to others, especially with the teachers whom we expect to go back to their respective schools armed with the learning they have acquired at CodrSchool and then impart this learning to their students.  We believe that the teachers will be able to provide a 'multiplier' effect for the ideas that we wish to cultivate.

Additionally, we look forward to the idea that the projects we start with the interns would be continued at the schools as research projects in which we could possibly involve other interested students who might have been interested in learning more but have had not the chance to be an intern.

We wish to encourage in schools and in students a culture of research, curiosity and interest beyond what is being offered in the classrooms.  Many of the most popular products, companies and services we have in the computing world today have been borne out of schools and universities.  There is no reason why we could not do the same at our own campuses and basements.  Perhaps, it's about time to ask the students to focus beyond just making the grade.  There is a big world of opportunities out there for those who aspire for greater things.  And this is the reason for CodrSchool.
