Internships
Science Internship Program (SIP)
The Science Internship Program fosters an environment of formal research mentorship for students interested in STEM related fields. Through the program’s strong commitment to mentorship (not just work experience), SIP provides students with a front row seat for witnessing scientific research passion “in action” as it unfolds, in and through the activity of a research team. Participating in the ongoing traverse along the circuit from basic questions to project design, data collection, and analysis, the passion for research becomes something shared. The program is conducted under the University of California Santa Cruz.
