10-week summer internship program for students majoring in homeland security
related science, technology, engineering and mathematics disciplines. The
program provides students with quality research experiences at federal research
facilities located across the country and allows students the opportunity to
establish connections with DHS professionals. It is open to undergraduate
students in a broad spectrum of HS-STEM Disciplines and DHS mission-relevant
research areas. The ultimate goal of the program is to engage a
diverse, educated and skilled pool of scientists and engineers in HS-STEM areas
and to promote long-term relationships between students, researchers, DHS and
research facilities to enhance the HS-STEM workforce.</span><span lang="EN" style="color: #181818; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

NASA’s 2013 Astronaut Candidate Program<br />
<br />
<br />
If you have dreamed of joining the Astronaut Corps, now is the time to apply. NASA is continuing space exploration programs that will include missions beyond low Earth orbit<br />
<br />
NASA is seeking applicants for its next class of astronaut candidates who will support long-duration missions to the International Space Station and future deep space exploration activities. <br />
<br />
The first U.S. astronauts were selected in 1959, before human spaceflight operations began. NASA asked the military services to provide a list of personnel who met specific qualifications. After stringent screening, NASA announced its selection of seven men, all pilots, as the first American astronauts. NASA has selected 20 more groups of astronauts since the “Original Seven.” The backgrounds of NASA’s previous groups of astronaut candidates include schoolteachers, doctors, scientist, and engineers.<br />
<br />NASA selects astronauts from a diverse pool of applicants with a wide variety of backgrounds. From the thousands of applications received, only a few are chosen for the intensive Astronaut Candidate training program. Including the “Original Seven”, only 330 astronauts have been selected to date.<br />

BECOME A CITIZEN TEACHER!Citizen Schools partners with middle schools to expand the learning day for low-income children across the country.<br />
<br />We believe all students have the potential to discover a love of learning in middle school that will inspire them to succeed in high school, college, the workforce, and civic life.<br />
However, many kids lose interest and drop out of school because they lack enough time to master skills during the school day, relevant learning activities, and involved adults.<br />
Our solution mobilizes a second shift of afternoon educators, who provide academic support, leadership development, and "apprenticeships"—hands-on learning activities taught by volunteers.<br />
We need your help as a Citizen Teacher to support our work with schools and communities to restore the promise of education in America.<br />
<br />
<br />
WHO?<br />Approximately 15 middle school students in 6, 7 or 8th grade-- all eager to learn from you!<br />WHAT?<br />Teach your skills and share your passion.<br />WHEN?<br />90 minutes each week for 12 weeks on a weekday afternoon in the fall or spring, culminating in a WOW! presentation.<br />Roughly 1-2 hours planning and preparing for your session each week.<br />WHERE?<br />At a Massachusetts middle school.<br />SUPPORT:<br /> Training<br /> Curriculum development<br /> Lesson planning guidance<br /> Weekly classroom assistance from Citizen Schools staff<br /> $80 budget for supplies<br /> Feedback<br /> Online community of Citizen Teacher volunteers<br />
What is a WOW!? At Citizen Schools, a WOW! is the culminating showcase of student mastery that they’ve achieved in their apprenticeships: high-quality, real-world products or presentations that have value for the community. Whether its an architectural model of a community center, a new web page designed for parents at their school, a mock trial delivered in front of real judges and jury members, or a pitch to investors for a social enterprise concept, each WOW! makes young people heroes in their own community, and demonstrates what's possible when youth and professionals work together.<br />

About NREIPThe Naval Research Enterprise Intern Program (NREIP), provides an opportunity for students to participate in research at a Department of Navy (DoN) laboratory during the summer.<br />
<br />
<br />
The goals of the NREIP are to encourage participating students to pursue science and engineering careers, to further education via mentoring by laboratory personnel and their participation in research, and to make them aware of DoN research and technology efforts, which can lead to employment within the DoN.<br />
<br />
NREIP provides competitive research internships to approximately 238 college students (174 undergraduate students and 64 graduate students) each year. Participating students typically spend ten weeks during the summer doing research at approximately 19 DoN laboratories. To participate, a student must be enrolled at an accredited 4 year US college or university and have completed their freshman year before beginning the internship.<br />
