Snacks Chefs is the internship program that puts you inside the Kitchen — building what others will one day experience. Real work. Real outputs. Four weeks.
Snacks is an AI-powered youth platform built for teenagers across Egypt and MENA — helping them discover careers, build skills, and understand who they are.
The Kitchen is where the products get made. As a Chef, you're not attending a program. You're building one.
Content Producer. Experience Architect. Partnership Scout. Product Builder. Intelligence Analyst. Each Chef has a specific role with a specific deliverable.
Not a mock-up. Not a training exercise. Work that goes into the real world — published, shipped, or used by the Snacks team.
Signed by the founding team. Written by your direct supervisor. Not a participation award — a record of what you actually built.
You'll be among the first people to ever work inside Snacks. That means something as this platform grows across MENA.
High schoolers (16–18) and first-year college students (18–19). Open to both tracks unless stated otherwise.
Write for schools. Create for teenagers. Make the brand real — in English and Arabic.
Build the sessions. Write the guides. Make the program something people don't forget.
Build the pipeline Snacks walks through. Real BD work with a real business development lead.
Build the platform Egyptian teenagers will use — not a demo, not a tutorial.
Document what matters. Build the evidence base that changes minds — in pitches, grants, and investor rooms.

All outputs archived in Snacks OS. Reference letters sent within 5 business days. Hassan writes the cohort retrospective. Cohort 2 planning begins.
Week 1. All 13 Chefs together. You go through Ice Cream as a user. Meet your supervisor. Receive your first brief. Understand what you're building and why.
Weeks 2–3. Real work with weekly supervisor check-ins. Cross-track Fridays where all 13 Chefs share what they're building. Mid-program review and feedback.
Week 4. Final outputs completed and supervisor-approved. Each Chef presents their work to the full Snacks team. Not a slide deck — the actual thing.
Certificates and reference letters issued. Alumni access granted. You were here before everyone else. That's not a small thing.
We don't care where you go to school. We care what you've made.
