One of the many reclamation projects interns will have the ability to work on.

MARY’S- Sophomore Martin Havelly (SFS ’17) has taken advantage of his computer science major to apply for a competitive internship with Robocop.

“I just learned how to program in C++, and learning to program quasi-sentient artificial intelligence to help reanimate the bodies of gravely wounded policemen just seemed like the next step.”

The internship, a 12-week summer program on the streets of Detroit, teaches students how to build, maintain, and repair their own fully cognizant cyborgs as they patrol the city and fight crime.

Required experience includes fluency with Java and HTML and above-average skill at dodging bullets. Previous interns have gone on to work with private contractors like Halliburton as well as tech companies such as Cyberdyne Industries.

Applications for the position have been highly competitive. “I checked online, and there are apparently nearly a thousand applicants,” said Havelly. “It’s weird; I would have thought there would be fewer. I mean, you have to live in Detroit. It’s a drawback.”
