Internships
A Positive Way to Make Lasting Change
Kamin Science Center’s College Internship Program is open to undergraduate and graduate students, recent graduates, and early-career professionals looking for targeted learning experiences. College internships are not available to any student eligible for our Teen Volunteer Program or High School Internship Program.
The High School Internship Program is open to high school students between the ages of 14 and 18.
You don’t have to be a STEM major to intern at the Science Center. We accept all majors for our internships! From education and marketing to event planning, physics, and much more, there is a department that fits your interests and course of study.
Amazing Opportunities to Help You Grow
Each intern will have the opportunity to be creative, apply classroom studies in practical ways, and develop personally and professionally. In return, Kamin Science Center will receive valuable assistance that contributes significantly to our goals.
Interns may prepare and evaluate educational materials, assist with staff training, help children explore the wonders of science, research science content for shows and exhibits, assist with creative planning and design of marketing materials, and much more!
