Science Student Interns
Becoming an intern with Elephant Thoughts can be one of the most rewarding experiences a young student can have. Elephant Thoughts trains our interns in areas of science that are appropriate to their curriculum, as well as a number of exciting activities and experiments from using telescopes to programming robots to making slime. Once trained, the intern then becomes a ‘junior instructor’ for one of Elephant Thoughts’ many programs with elementary students such as after school programs, or march break camps. Aside from the science-based skills acquired, the intern also develops fundamental leadership, responsibility, teaching, and organizational skills to better prepare them for the world of work.
The Details:
- Internships generally happen during the school year in communities we work in.
- There are also limited opportunities for summer placements where students get to travel with our crews to other First Nations communities and teach science.
- Interns are paid positions and all expenses are covered.
- Typically, interns are 15 years old +, and either of First Nations heritage or enrolled in First Nations school, and planning to return to school in the fall.
