We're Looking for Interns in NM, NC, and Houston This Summer
The NSRC's Investing in Innovation (i3) initiative supports and promotes high quality, inquiry-based science education programs and helps establish infrastructures to sustain those programs for decades to come. This initiative studies the effects of the NSRC's LASER Model in grades 1-8 in three regions: North Carolina, Northern New Mexico, and Houston Independent School District.
Washington, DC-based interns will be based at NSRC's DC offices and may be asked to travel to one or more regional sites to assist with summer workshops.
For Regional Interns, the majority of work will be performed at a variety of venues including schools, and informal learning environments; much of the pre-workshop work may be performed at local offices or materials centers.
Regional interns will be expected to provide their own transportation to and from events in their region and to and from their work location.
