Mike McGowan, Computer Science alumnus, is looking for another intern for Spring 2012 at Lincoln Elementary in Calumet City.  According to Mike  there's going to be a lot of interesting things going on  he wants to start "before the end of the school year to start prepping the equipment and such. So it would be a good time to learn some project management skills."   Lincoln Elementary District #156 is at 410 West 157th St, Calumet City, IL 60409. 

Jordan Parcel, Information Technology - 2011, and Joel Perez, Computer Science Senior,  have both had successful internships at Lincoln Elementary and report very favorably about the experience and the opportunity to learn.
