How it started
We gathered over 11,000 interns all over the world across different tech tracks (design, mobile, frontend, backend development, video editing and more) in a single digital space for eight weeks to hone their skills.
Oh! and Mentors too!
“Participating in HNG i12reshaped our approach to coding and collaboration,
On January 1st, 2025, the countdown began with a whopping 11,000 interns flooding the digital corridors of HNG i12! Among them were 50 design mavens, 10 code warriors, and a whole squad of tech enthusiasts itching to level up their skills.
Breaking the mold from past cohorts, this time around, project managers stepped up as mentors, guiding the collective force towards one epic goal.
Talk about unexpected MVPs! The spotlight definitely belonged to the video editors. They didn't just edit, they infused magic into every frame, turning ordinary clips into cinematic masterpieces.
And that's a wrap, folks! As the curtain fell on the HNG i12 Cohort, we bid farewell with 24 design dynamos, 50 coding connoisseurs, and a bunch of other tech-savvy superheroes
