In my previous role, we had few Junior Devs - Teens who are just about to go to college get to experience working on a professional project and seeing if they like software development at a big (FAANG) co. We didn't treat them as interns because the expectation was they did not know anything about software development.

We just took it as a mentorship exercise. Couple of gals in the group were really fast learners and didn't need as much help, so we know some eventual new-hires who sort of know our system and way of doing things. Also, their questions were often very simple but piercing.
