A Perspective from First Year Bay Area ScriptEd Intern

Dequan Zhang, an undergraduate student and LaunchDarkly intern, shares his experience in the ScriptEd program, which teaches students how to code in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. After joining the program in his junior year of high school, he was selected for a summer internship at LaunchDarkly where he worked on improving their internal administration application called Vitalstatistix using feature flags. Despite challenges such as learning ReactJs on-the-job, Dequan gained valuable experience and insights into the tech industry, including meeting with the CEO and CTO of LaunchDarkly. He encourages future ScriptEd interns to embrace the opportunity and take advantage of networking opportunities in the industry.
