DS2 extends a warm welcome to our summer interns! Our interns, Jadyn, Charles, Anthony, and Joshua, are all local students with experience ranging from recent high school graduates to university students at the University of West Florida and Northwest Florida State College.
The goal of the DS2 summer internship program is to provide students who have an interest in software development an opportunity to gain practical work experience in an active, innovative software shop. This is DS2's 8th year continuing our summer internship program and we believe there is value in helping guide students during their studies, harnessing their passion for software engineering, and leading them to a successful career post-education. During the internship, interns are assigned team projects, along with mentors who are delighted to share their experiences in the field and guide our interns through the nuances of a work environment.
This summer, our interns will be working on projects focusing on new 3D printing technology, website development, software testing, and much more, utilizing knowledge and skills they've learned in the classroom and learning more along the way. We are looking forward to having Jadyn (who has been an intern with DS2 throughout much of her high school career), Charles, Anthony, and Joshua apart of the team and look forward to the things they will accomplish and goals they will attain this summer and in the future!
If you are a college or high school student in good academic standing and are interested in a future software engineering internship opportunity, send us an email at info@ds2.com.

Each Earth Day, Team DS2 gets together to clean a section of our local beaches. This year, our volunteers participated in a beach clean-up event hosted by Friends of South Walton Sea Turtles which took place in Destin, FL where our volunteers combed the shoreline filling trash bags with litter left on our beaches and tangled in the dunes
Every year, DS2 participates in a Fall beach cleanup to remove litter from our beautiful sugar-sand beaches and say goodbye to Summer! This year, we packed up our trash bags, trash grabbers, buckets, & gloves and headed to the Boardwalk on Okaloosa Island. DS2 volunteers soaked up some sun while removing an entire trashcan’s worth of rubbish from the shoreline.
