Public Programs Summer Internships

The MIT Museum is seeking several outgoing, knowledgeable, friendly individuals to make the science and technology in our galleries come alive this summer. Learn about museum education, teach kids (and adults) about engineering, and explore hot topics in science and technology. The interns will work in the Education and Public Programs Team leading and developing science and engineering demonstrations and group activities, organizing evening programs, interpreting exhibits and leading gallery tours, assisting with educational workshops, and researching background materials for Museum exhibits and programs. The successful applicants will be current undergraduate or graduate students, studying education, science and/or engineering. Must be flexible, detail-oriented and a team player. Some experience working with K-12 audiences preferred.

Internships are between 30-35 hours/week for 10 weeks from June 8-August 14, 2015. A modest stipend may be available or candidates may arrange for academic credit through their schools. To apply, fill out the online application listing “Summer Programs Intern” in the Opportunity field.
