Pacific Northwest National Laboratory Internship

<p> Pacific Northwest National Laboratory Internship Internship Information Internship Information Funded by a Robert Noyce grant from the National Science Foundation, this internship aims to engage STEM students in educationally purposeful activities that allow them the opportunity to examine their interest in and disposition for teaching science or mathematics in middle or high schools. Two NLSIs (National Lab Student Interns) will be working at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) located in Richland, Washington where they will collaborate with laboratory staff in ways that contribute to clearly defined laboratory research experiences and at the same time provide the interns with educational experiences that encourage them to study and pursue careers in education. Interns will be assigned a Master Teacher who is currently working in K-12 education as a teacher and is familiar with the research environment of a Department of Energy National Laboratory. The master teachers will assist the interns in translating their research experiences into inquiry-based K- 12 educational modules that are aligned with national science or mathematics standards. </p><p>Travel Noyce will pay interns’ flights to and from PNNL ($500 flat rate).</p><p>Housing Noyce will provide each intern a housing allowance of $125 per week for a total of 10 weeks.</p><p>Payment Interns will receive an additional stipend of $425.00 per week.</p><p>Duration Participants should expect to spend at least 40 hours per week (for 10 weeks) and at least 8 hours per day in activities and/or research related to their internships. </p><p>Assignments Each intern is expected to complete the full ten week program; complete entrance and exit surveys; submit a complete copy of a research paper or presentation (depending on the individual laboratory’s policy); submit an Education Module; submit an abstract of their research in the required format; and attend all scheduled events including lectures, tours and group activities.
