Creative Technology Intern

Job Location:

DI - HQ - Overland Park, KS, Salary Range:
Undisclosed

At Dimensional Innovations (DI), we’re Designers, Makers, Engineers, Developers, Strategists and Innovators working together to create remarkable experiences, places and products.

Our work lives at the intersection of design, technology and fabrication. From immersive brand experiences and interactive technology to sports venues, museums, corporate environments and destinations, we bring big ideas to life—all under one roof at our Kansas City headquarters.

At DI, an internship isn't about sitting on the sidelines.

Our summer interns become part of the team and have the opportunity to contribute to real client projects alongside professionals in their field. You'll see how ideas move from concept to design, development, fabrication and installation—and how different disciplines come together to create something remarkable.

Throughout the summer, you'll build practical skills, learn from experienced mentors, make connections across DI and leave with meaningful experience you can take back to school and into your career.

You’ll work hard, learn a lot and have some fun along the way.

As a Creative Technology Intern, you'll explore what happens when software leaves the screen and becomes part of a physical experience.

You’ll work alongside DI's Creative Technology team to contribute code to real client projects, build interactive prototypes and experiment with emerging technologies. You'll learn how web applications can communicate with physical hardware like sensors, cameras, interactive displays and lighting systems to create experiences people can see, touch and interact with.

You’ll also have access to DI's fully equipped technology workshop and be paired with an experienced developer who will serve as a mentor throughout the summer.

• Contribute to web applications, interactive experiences and prototypes for real DI client projects
• Assist with front-end development using modern technologies, frameworks, tools and workflows
• Explore ways software can interact with physical hardware, including sensors, cameras, displays and LED lighting systems
• Build and test prototypes in DI's technology workshop
• Apply user experience and design principles to interactive experiences
• Use Git and collaborative development practices while working alongside experienced developers
• Participate in project conversations, problem-solving and testing as ideas move toward finished experiences
• Explore emerging technologies and experiment with new ways to connect the digital and physical worlds

• Developing software for real-world, client-facing experiences
• Building web applications that interact with physical hardware
• Working with sensors, cameras, interactive displays and LED lighting systems
• Professional software development workflows, version control and quality assurance
• Prototyping, testing and iterating on interactive concepts
• Solving technical challenges within physical environments
• Collaborating with designers, developers, engineers, fabricators and other disciplines
• Understanding how technology, design and fabrication come together to create immersive experiences
• Taking an idea from early exploration toward something people can actually experience

You don't need to know everything yet—that's why you're here. But you'll be most successful if you bring curiosity, initiative and a willingness to jump in and learn.

We're especially interested in students with:

• Experience building interactive web applications using HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript, either vanilla JavaScript or modern frameworks
• Familiarity with Git/version control and…
