Develop Intern for NASA

SSAI sponsors paid internships, through NASAs DEVELOP Program, for students to extend science research to local communities. Student teams are forming at Goddard Space Flight Center, UMD- College Park and George Washington University. DEVELOP students initiate projects in response to challenges that communities introduce at leadership forums such as governors' conferences and association meetings. Projects are designed to achieve the widest coverage of NASA's Applications of National Priority using NASA's science missions and models. Each project requires partnerships with the target community to achieve the greatest return on investment. Students work with state, local and tribal governments, industry, non-profit organizations and federal agencies to attract long-term technology and education benefits to the community.

 

The DEVELOP Program began in 1998 with three students who wrote a paper titled "Practical Applications of Remote Sensing". Founded at NASA Langley Research Center, DEVELOP grew to include 52 students participating by May 2000 under the former Digital Earth Program. In December 2001, DEVELOP was given the mandate to become a NASA National Program. DEVELOP has grown nationally and now has activity at six NASA Centers and at seven regional locations.Mail all application materials as listed on DEVELOP Application.
