For intern managers

Bring the challenge.
We'll run the program.

You bring a real public problem. We provide the platform, the proven sprint process, and a guided intern experience — mixed-method research, design thinking, AI-assisted building, and storytelling. Stay in the loop on every step without becoming a project manager.

How interns work

A self-guided journey from problem to pitch

Interns move through a proven 6-step design thinking arc. You see every step, leave feedback when it matters, and never have to chase status updates.

01
Empathize

Talk to the people closest to the problem. Listen, watch, and learn what they really need.

02
Define

Turn what you heard into one clear problem statement worth solving.

03
Ideate & Prototype

Brainstorm wide, pick the strongest idea, then vibe-code it on Lovable.

04
Test & Pitch

Test with real users, fix what breaks, then deliver a polished pitch — ready for your team and community.

What you get

One platform. Every angle covered.

Live project & sprint dashboards
See exactly where each intern is across Empathize → Pitch — research, prototypes, evidence, and final deliverables — without status meetings.
AI-summarized weekly updates
Auto-generated digests of intern progress, blockers, and highlights so you can mentor instead of chase.
Final project briefs, shareable
Every intern produces a public-ready brief with photos, problem, solution, and validation — perfect to share with stakeholders.
Audit-friendly records
Hours, sources, deliverables, and approvals all logged in one place for funders, schools, and HR.

Who does what

You mentor. We operate.

You (the manager)
  • Bring a real challenge tied to your work
  • Give context, feedback, and encouragement
  • Show up to a few 1-on-1s and milestone reviews
  • Celebrate the final pitch and prototype
F7 Missions
  • Onboarding, training, and the full curriculum
  • Sprint structure, deliverables, and pacing
  • Tools: messaging, scheduling, expenses, hours, transport
  • Coaching, troubleshooting, and youth support

"Managers told us they wanted impact without the project-management overhead. So we built the infrastructure: a platform where young people learn modern problem-solving and ship real work — while managers stay in the seat that matters most, mentoring."

A few hours a week from you. A summer of work from your intern. One real prototype to show for it.
