Project modules

ITONBOARD's goal is to introduce young students to career paths in open source web development. With that goal in mind we developed five distinct products to guide students from a gamified experience to first-hand experience in schools, from e-learning opportunities to internship options.

Escape Game

The escape game can be used in vocational orientation for students (ages 12-15).

Project weeks for schools

Schools are able to organize project days or weeks for IT career orientation based on our guidelines.

E-Learning

Courses for career orientation in the IT industry.

Blended remote IT internships

Guidelines for blended remote internships, developed with the experience of FOSS communities and remotely working IT companies.

Internship exchange platform

We connect seeking pupils/ students with IT companies and connect all other project results through one seamless portal.
