Do you enjoy teaching students, and are you interested in a career in Environmental Education? SERC is looking for Spring interns (2) for April-June 2025. We are searching for college students and recent graduates.
SERC Education Interns work with Education staff and learn how to deliver hands-on science based on the practices of science of our Smithsonian scientists. This means setting up and taking down program materials, delivering programs to school groups (K-12th grade) and public programs, working with volunteers, and caring for fish tanks and turtles. Education Interns are a part of the larger Public Engagement (PE) team and will meet with PE staff biweekly, including those from Citizen Science, Environmental Literacy, and media.
Interns will undergo extensive training, ranging from safety and group management to biophobia, culturally responsive teaching and program content, and best practices for delivering programs for various ages and grades.
