NASA, Texas Space Grant Consortium, and The University of Texas at Austin Center for Space Research Summer Intern Program is a nationally competitive STEM program for high school students. The program provides selected students with exposure to Earth and space research. Interns will learn how to interpret NASA satellite data while working with scientists and engineers in their chosen area of work.
Scientists and Engineers at UT/CSR are conducting NASA supported research on astronomy, remote sensing, and space geodetic techniques to help understand Earth systems, natural hazards and climate science. This summer TSGC and UT/CSR will support a summer intern program where interns will complete distance learning modules prior to June 25, work remotely June 25-July 7, 2023 guided by project mentors. The on-site internship will be July 8 – July 22, 2023. Housing, meals, and local transportation will be provided for those selected. A limited number of travel scholarships to Texas are available. Virtual internship timelines are listed in the project description. The SEES summer intern program will allow interns to view and investigate NASA remote sensing data, mission design, analysis of ice sheets, Earth’s gravity field, and other observations while being mentored by project scientists.
All project teams will present their research during the Virtual SEES Science Symposium July 24-26, 2022.
We are offering summer internships to motivated high school students who have an interest in pursuing Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics careers. The interns will work beside NASA subject matter experts analyzing and visualizing data. This content knowledge, coupled with hands-on experiences, allows the intern to gain experience in authentic NASA research through field investigation and data analysis.
Interns are selected on the basis of their academic records, written application that includes answers to essay questions, introduction video, letter of recommendation form, transcript and interest in STEM. The deadline for submitting your application for the summer 2023 internship program is February 20, 2023.
Here’s what former interns had to say:
The SEES High School Summer Intern Program is partnered with NASA Texas Space Grant Consortium (TSGC grant number 80NSSC20M0036), and is funded through NASA Cooperative Agreement Notice NNH15ZDA004C and is a part of NASA’s Science Activation program.
