Tulane Center for K-12 STEM Education Intern Application

First-tier service learning course or second-tier internship opportunities are available with the K-12 STEM Education for the Spring 2025 semester. Work with the Center for K-12 STEM Education in the School of Science and Engineering to engage with local K-12 students and help them see the exciting opportunities that await them in STEM.

Through this internship you will:

• Work with Tulane graduate students to facilitate hands-on activities in local New Orleans middle school classrooms. The hours and schedule are flexible within the bounds of the normal K-12 school day (8am-3:30pm). We ask that you have one day where you have a 3 hour block available during the school day to help with these activities.

• Coordinate aspects of Girls in STEM at Tulane (GiST) and Boys At Tulane in STEM (BATS) such as photography, group leaders, welcome tables, and volunteers

• Support and volunteer at community STEM events such as the Greater New Orleans Science and Engineering Fair, FIRST Lego League, FIRST Robotics and school STEM nights

Working with the Center can satisfy either the lower-tier or upper-tier service learning requirement:

• For the first-tier service learning course, students must complete at least 40 hours of service and attend a 1-credit seminar once a week (SCEN 2070/2890)

• For the second-tier internship, students must complete at least 70 hours of service and attend a 3-credit internship seminar once a week.

• The seminar for both tiers will take place on Tuesdays from 5-6pm.
