Each year, brilliant minds from dozens of universities descend on Tech Square for summer internships at local startups and Fortune 500 companies. Enter Sandbox Academy, where interns sharpen their skills, and level up their professional profile. 

Flashpoint’s recent “Innovation For All” conference gave entrepreneurs and investors a behind-the-scenes look into the method behind the madness at one of the most successful, if under-celebrated, programs in Atlanta’s startup ecosystem.

The Tech Square Intern Academy was like a jet pack strapped to an internship. Students got to have fun with other interns, meet leaders from a variety of Atlanta companies, and explore different corners of Tech Square and the greater Atlanta community - all while becoming a better person.
