Collaborate with Hyper Island Frontend Developer students to develop a high-quality web-based feature or page tailored to your organisation’s goals.
In this project, students work in teams to create scalable, maintainable, and user-focused frontend solutions. They apply collaborative coding practices such as code reviews, linting, and automated testing to support code quality, consistency, and team alignment.
The project also explores how design system thinking can be integrated into development. Students break down mockups, identify reusable components, and work with patterns that support consistency and long-term scalability across digital products and experiences.
This project is best suited for companies with an existing digital product, website, design system, or clear frontend challenge to explore. It is a strong fit for organisations looking to test or develop a web-based feature, improve a digital experience, or explore reusable frontend components.
Participating companies are expected to provide a clear brief (with support from us), relevant background information, and it is valuable for students to get access to useful material such as brand guidelines, design files, existing components, technical documentation, or codebase information where relevant.
Companies should also be available for key touchpoints, such as briefing, feedback, and final presentation, which equals to about 2-4h/week. For this project, it is especially valuable to have access to a technical point of contact who can answer questions about feasibility, tech stack, and implementation context.
Deliverables
At the end of this project, you can get:
- A web-based feature, page, or prototype tailored to your goals.
- Frontend development built with scalability, maintainability, and code quality in mind.
- Documentation outlining key elements, design logic, reusable components, and technical methods used.
- Insights into how collaborative frontend teams work with shared codebases, quality processes, and sustainable development practices.
- A final presentation and/or handover of the solution, process, and recommendations.
The exact scope will depend on the brief, available material, technical setup, and project timeframe.
Why collaborate
By partnering with Hyper Island students, your organisation gets access to emerging frontend talent trained in agile teamwork, modern coding tools, and sustainable development practices.
This collaboration gives you the opportunity to experiment with a digital idea, explore a new feature, improve an existing page, or prototype a user-focused frontend solution. At the same time, you gain insight into how modern frontend teams work with code quality, design systems, collaboration, and scalable development workflows.
Course Goals Students
- Collaborate on codebases using code reviews, linters, and automated testing to ensure code quality, maintainability, and team alignment.
- Integrate design system thinking with code quality practices to deliver consistent, user-focused solutions.

How will you collaborate?
Experience based Peer-Learning
In this collaborative experience the students will apply a Design Thinking approach following the process of empathise, define, ideate, prototype and test alongside the Hyper Island Experience Based Learning process of doing, reflecting, generalising and applying. In connection with this, the client will take an active role in providing feedback-loops and anchoring the process and progress of the work to their business needs.
Meetings: The client and the student team are expected to meet at least once a week.
The Hyper Island Way
The Hyper Island Way™ is about doing. By working with clients the students will grow and find the confidence to be what’s next in the industry. This also emphasises peer-learning and exchange of experience, perspectives and knowledge between students and industry professionals.
Community Innovation
Peer-learning is the bedrock of innovative growth, sparking the kind of creativity and problem-solving that no single mind can generate on its own. By enabling the exchange of diverse ideas and perspectives, it fosters a collective wisdom that drives groundbreaking solutions. By investing in peer-learning, we're not just facilitating knowledge sharing – we're pioneering a culture of collaborative innovation.
FAQ
In a Learning Partnership companies and students meet to exchange value; the students get an opportunity to learn new skills by practical implementation of the learning goals of their coursework and the client gets project deliveries in the form of strategies, reports or production of creative material and assets. Important to remember for clients is that you will be working with students still in training, who will do their best to meet expectations within the brief, but who is still “learning by doing” and who will once the project ends, move on to their next course.
Projects are around 4-6 weeks, during this time you should be available for about 2-4 hours a week to support and touch base with students as they go and to feedback continuously. The students will alongside their project with you have a parallel learning track with workshops, seminars and similar to support and enable them to solve the challenges from the brief successfully.
You have ownership over the ideas and concepts presented by students, to further develop and implement them. An NDA will be applied to ensure sensitive business information remains tightly within the collaboration.
We ask participating companies to pay a sponsorship fee to work with our students. This allows us to fund a team of three people working with Learning Partnerships across all of our full time YH programs in Sweden; ensuring quality of project briefs for our students to get practical training in real client projects as well as supporting the clients in the collaboration. It also supports us to continuously develop our programs and ensure future talent to the industry.
