Dear supercool underdogs, web socialists and hidden champions!
We are searching for Developers who would like to do an "Internship" at Supercool School.
Supercool School is a highly purpose-driven
startup that was founded by a team of underdogs from Europe and India
to change the world using the amazing powers of learning.
We are bulding the first demand-based online learning marketplace that empowers people to request
classes, join them as students or teach them using a simple webcam. Launching our alpha version on Facebook five months ago, Supercool School has attracted over 3.000
users that requested over 300 classes ranging from "How to start a business in
China" to "Advanced Java" and "Thai Soup Recipes". We're going to have our
global website launch in January 2009 and are already involved in some super secret projects with well known global organizations.
We are driven by our believe in the power of learning. We believe that education is the
answer to all the challenges that we face today. And even though we
don't have all the solutions yet, we believe that they can be found in
the hearts and minds of the people. So empowering them to learn and to
develop their true potential means empowering the world to become all
it can be: a better place for all of us.
