At our Szczecin office this summer, it’s all about curiosity, creativity and sharing knowledge. We have welcomed a group of talented students who are spending their break working on a real-world challenge, which is designing a smart home interface from scratch.

Cette initiative capture l'essence deSpyrosoft Synergy – explorer de nouvelles idées ensemble, collaborer ouvertement et rester proches des technologies qui stimulent les avancées technologiques dansle domaine HMI. Tout cela se déroule sous la direction d'Anna Orecka, responsable hiérarchique à Szczecin, qui a soutenu le programme du début à la fin.

Rencontrez les mentors de Spyrosoft

  • Rafal Andrusieczko, Ingénieur Logiciel Principal HMI
  • Pawel Lisiecki, ingénieur logiciel principal HMI

The people behind this programme made it possible. Key technical mentors Rafal Andrusieczko and Pawel Lisiecki were responsible for coordinating the internship, ensuring that every student had meaningful work and constant guidance. Thanks to their involvement, interns could transition from theory to practice with ease.

During the internship programme, we emphasised not only technical skills, but also the importance of strengthening communication and collaboration abilities, which are just as important as coding. As a result of this focus, they became more confident in sharing their challenges and asking for help and often progressed faster. By creating a safe and supportive environment, we were able to boost their confidence and improve their approach to problem resolution.

Créer une HMI de maison intelligente avec Qt

From 4 July to 8 August, ten students from local schools and universities joined us in Szczecin for this year’s internship programme. They were tasked with designing and developing a Human-Machine Interface for a smart home system, an application capable of controlling lights, adjusting thermostats, monitoring energy consumption and proposing cost optimisations in a house.

To achieve this, the interns worked with Qt, QML and C++, which are widely used technologies across the industry. With the support of their mentors, the interns transformed Figma mockups into fully functioning interfaces, tackled technical challenges in real-time and learned how to collaborate effectively on a shared project.

Quels ont été les défis les plus courants rencontrés par les stagiaires, et comment nos mentors les ont-ils aidés à les surmonter ?

During the internship programme, we found that interns most often struggled with creating advanced graphical effects and ensuring that applications ran smoothly on target hardware. Although they were comfortable with standard UI elements, they needed support to deliver dynamic animations and transitions. We guided them in using Qt’s animation frameworks by providing examples, troubleshooting and encouragement until they achieved high-performance results. Another challenge was optimising applications for less powerful devices. We helped to profile performance issues and taught techniques such as asynchronous operations and resource management. With this support, the interns gained confidence, overcame real-world challenges and produced visually impressive and efficient applications.

Mentors emphasise that interns made the most progress in two areas: teamwork and mastering the Qt framework. Working on different parts of the same application taught them how to integrate their contributions into a cohesive product. They also gained hands-on experience with advanced Qt modules such as Application Manager, Remote Objects and HTTP Server, moving beyond the basics to build a complex, multi-layered application from scratch.

Pourquoi les étudiants choisissent Spyrosoft

For many of the interns, choosing Spyrosoft was no coincidence. The feedback we received from our trainees suggests that, as a company, we already had a strong reputation. What stood out most was that the internship programme was carefully designed, with a clear plan, specific projects and dedicated mentors ready to guide the interns.

As Jakub Gaj, un étudiant en informatique, a partagé « Parmi toutes les offres que j'avais, Spyrosoft semblait bien plus intéressante et propice au développement. »

Lukasz Strzelczyk, un étudiant en dernière année d'informatique a déclaré que « Lorsque je cherchais un stage, des amis m'ont dit que Spyrosoft proposait des opportunités. Après avoir examiné les détails, j'ai décidé que ce serait un bon choix, car c'est un endroit où je pourrais apprendre beaucoup de choses intéressantes !”.

Pour Mykhailo Halko, technicien en programmation, la décision est venue après que son professeur lui a présenté l'opportunité « J'ai pensé que ce serait une excellente occasion d'acquérir de nouvelles compétences et de gagner de l'expérience en travail d'équipe. »

Ce que nos stagiaires ont vraiment pensé de leur travail

Let’s hear from our interns about their projects and the challenges they faced during this year’s summer programme. From grappling with brand-new technologies to solving unforeseen problems, they all experienced moments that were both thrilling and challenging, and which ultimately offered the best learning opportunities.

Piotr Wilczynski, un élève de 4e année d'un lycée technique, a décidé de partager son opinion avec nous : “The assignments were very rewarding and engaging. I really enjoyed working with the Qt framework, especially QML. It was very straightforward and intuitive to write in, even in larger projects. The most challenging aspect was undoubtedly the newer, less well-documented modules, such as Remote Objects in Qt, for which there were few to no examples online. This forced me to delve deeply into the framework and solve problems independently. Working with the Raspberry Pi and resolving related issues was also very enjoyable.”

Magdalena Swiatowa, a déclaré un étudiant en informatique : “Working on this project was both enjoyable and a great learning experience. The most challenging, and at the same time most valuable, part for me was writing a shader that blurred only the background behind the widgets. It pushed me to learn a lot and gave me a deeper understanding of how these technologies work.”

Pour un jeune de 18 ans Kacper Kupczynski, qui étudie actuellement dans une école technique : “Working on the tasks was a really fun and engaging experience. I focused mainly on the front-end, which gave me the chance to explore the structure of QML and compare it with web technologies I was already familiar with. It was interesting to see both the similarities and the differences. Thanks to the support from our leaders, we never hit any major roadblocks along the way.”

This year, I was most impressed not just by the technical skills our interns developed, but also by the curiosity, resilience and creativity they displayed in the face of new challenges. They all stepped far outside their comfort zones, explored unfamiliar technologies, and came up with solutions they can truly be proud of. This spirit of learning and problem-solving is exactly what the programme is all about.
