Program participants will learn what it is really like to work in the space industry through conversations with space professionals. Additionally, they will participate in hands-on challenges to help grow their confidence as an innovative thinker and problem-solver over the course of the internship. Participants will receive a total of $700 in transportation and program completion stipends.
