Tools and first-week setup

The tools a Flutter & Dart intern uses and how to set up your workspace in week one.

These are the main tools for Flutter & Dart tasks. You do not need all of them on day one; the Level 1 tasks tell you when to install each one.

  • Flutter & Dart
  • Android Studio / VS Code
  • Riverpod / Provider / Bloc
  • Firebase
  • dio / http
  • Flutter DevTools

Set up your workspace

  • Create a free GitHub account if you do not have one, with a professional username, and set up your LinkedIn profile: every task is submitted with a LinkedIn post.
  • Create one repository for the internship, for example flutter-and-dart-internship, with a README that says who you are and what the repo holds.
  • Keep one folder per task, named with the task number and title, so mentors find your work quickly.
  • Commit small changes every day with clear messages. Your daily work report uses these commits as proof.
  • Never commit passwords, API keys or personal data. Put secrets in a .env file and add it to .gitignore.
