// About the Role

We are seeking a Digital Media Intern with a background in computer programming and a strong interest in Unity development for immersive, interactive experiences. This internship is part of a funded initiative to train youth in emerging digital skills through real-world, high-profile public installations and exhibitions.

As part of our creative technology team, you’ll help develop and install a series of immersive projects for large-scale events, including:

  1. A full-body interactive floor game for a prominent Ontario children’s museum

  2. Experiential media activations for TIFF Festival Street (50th anniversary) 

  3. A flagship install for Mayor Olivia Chow’s Night of the Arts at the Carlu

  4. Live, interactive experiential installations at The Well in downtown Toronto

This is an exciting opportunity for an early-career Unity programmer to deepen their skills through hands-on learning while contributing to meaningful, public-facing media art experiences.

// Key Responsibilities

  • Support development of Unity-based interactive installations, games, and visual environments

  • Collaborate with artists, designers, and developers to prototype and deploy installations

  • Implement sensor-based inputs (e.g., motion tracking, OSC/TUIO data) for audience-responsive design

  • Participate in regular creative and technical meetings

  • Assist with on-site setup and calibration of immersive environments

  • Document code and contribute to development pipelines and tools

  • Added plus: contribute to visual/media design elements (if applicable to your skillset) 

// What We’re Looking For

  • Currently enrolled in (or recent grad of) a Computer Programming, Game Design, or Media Arts program 

  • Be between 15 and 30 years of age at the start of the internship

  • Intermediate experience with Unity and C# programming

  • Passion for immersive media, creative technology, or experiential storytelling

  • Curiosity and drive to learn in a fast-paced, hands-on environment

  • Bonus: familiarity with OSC, Arduino, TouchDesigner, or projection mapping

  • Bonus: experience designing or deploying public-facing installations or games

  • Preferred: Based in the Toronto area and available to work on-site when needed

// Why Apply?

This is more than an internship — it’s a gateway to building a professional-grade portfolio through real-world projects at some of Canada’s most visible public events. You’ll leave this placement with finished work showcased at major venues, hands-on experience with interactive media production, and valuable mentorship from established artists and technologists.
