The program offers a unique opportunity for high school students to gain authentic work experience and explore diverse STEM career paths within a leading science museum.
The Museum of Science Summer Youth Internship Program is a 7-week program designed for high school students aged 14-19. It offers authentic work experience through a combination of weekly professional development workshops and department-specific projects. Interns gain transferable skills and contribute to the Museum's mission of inspiring a lifelong love of science. The program aims to develop social and vocational competencies, helping interns understand their application in future professional and academic environments. Interns learn to communicate professionally, collaborate in teams, and manage their time effectively. They also engage in a four-stage experiential learning cycle: concrete experience, reflective observation, abstract conceptualization, and active experimentation, which helps them identify their learning style and set clear, measurable goals. Internships are available in education spaces and behind-the-scenes roles, providing insight into museum operations and diverse STEM career paths.
Interns engage in hands-on tasks related to their role, participate in professional development workshops, and work on department-specific projects.
The ideal student is an actively enrolled high school student aged 14-19 who is interested in gaining authentic work experience and developing transferable skills in a museum setting.
