The SEES High School Summer Intern Program is a nationally competitive STEM internship hosted by the University of Texas Center for Space Research that gives motivated high school students the opportunity to conduct authentic NASA research alongside scientists, engineers, and industry professionals. The program runs from mid-May through late July, combining distance learning modules, remote mentored project work, and a two-week on-site internship experience in Austin, Texas. Interns present their findings at a virtual science symposium, gaining real experience communicating research to a scientific audience. It is one of the most rigorous and prestigious STEM opportunities available to high school students with a passion for space science and exploration.
Making sense of numbers and datasets to find patterns, test ideas, and support decisions.
Designing studies, testing hypotheses, and drawing evidence-based conclusions.
Writing code to build software, automate tasks, or bring an idea to life on a screen.
Breaking down a challenge and working through it methodically to a solution.
Guiding a group toward a shared goal and keeping everyone moving together.
Students analyze NASA mission data and work on aerospace projects aligned with national priorities.
Interns focus on data analysis and visualization across multiple NASA mission datasets.
Python distance learning modules and data analysis work build programming and technical skills.
Projects include Earth systems and natural hazards research using satellite geodesy and remote sensing.
Interns engage in authentic research across disciplines including quantum pathways and gravity field studies.
