2020 - Startup & Intern Profiles

Each intern position was filled by a McGill University Undergraduate student within the Faculties of Arts, Engineering, Management, Law and Science. Each intern hasÌýthe opportunity to collaborate remotely with both the startup and a mentor at the Engine Centre to ensure theyÌýhave a well rounded learning experience over the summer.ÌýÌý
