STEMworks™ Innovation Internships – Host Company Application Period Now Open!
The STEMworks™ Innovation Internship is a 6-week summer program that matches talented, local students with companies from a wide spectrum of industries across the state who are looking for STEM talent. Prior to the start of the internship program STEMworks students are trained in computer science, coding, creative media including film, photography, and graphics design, web site design, geospatial technologies (GIS), video game design, robotics, CAD software, 3D design and printing, agricultural technologies, chemistry, engineering, renewable energy technologies, healthcare, and more. The STEMworks team meets with each host company prior to the start of the internship program to learn about their problems, gaps, and needs. This allows us to cultivate a personalized 6-week summer internship project for each host that will have maximum impact for their operations. This relationship building time further ensures that we make the perfect intern match. This summer, the internship program will run from June 13 – July 25, 2022.
Do you have a STEM-based project that you want to complete, but lack the time, staff, or skills to get it done? Apply to host an intern now at: bit.ly/STEMworksHost2022. Host company applications are due by February 4.

“It helped me understand what agriculture really is. When I first heard agriculture, I thought planting and harvesting. This experience taught me that there’s a whole lot more to it.”
