The ASC offers paid internships for students in the summer and during the school year. These opportunities allow students to build professional skills, collaborate with mentors and peers, and contribute to STEM learning in their community.
Join the Aspen Science Center this school year as a PAID STEM Leader! This paid internship offers 10th-12th grade students in the greater Roaring Fork Valley, from Aspen to Parachute, an opportunity to gain valuable experience with a local STEM-oriented non-profit. As a Community STEM Leader you will work in small, local teams to serve as educational leaders in their community. All community teams will work with ASC staff and other community teams to design and implement community focused STEM programs and services. Additionally, STEM Leaders will explore their own STEM career interests, as ASC will help interns identify a professional mentor to gain real-world experience in their STEM field of interest.
ASC Intern Educators will develop instructional skills through assisting with the facilitation of hands-on STEM activities for the local area youth, families, and adults. Interns will work closely with ASC Educators and other staff, usually as part of a team, to plan and deliver a variety of programs ranging from week-long Day Camps, hour-long library programs, interactive booths at local community markets, and more! In addition, you will work with the ASC Intern Coordinator, Megan Templeton, who will help you identify your goals and work with you regularly to help you track and make progress on your goals.
