NASA Internship positions

NASA Ames in Mountain View currently has 2 open Internship positions.
These are both part-time, paid internships that would be
perfect for a college student, someone just out of college that is not
quite ready for a full-time position, or a recent High School
graduate. Excellent High School student candidates will be considered.
Both Internships offer excellent work experience and any NASA
internship is a prized resume-builder! Interest in science education,
formal or informal, would be a definite plus!
