NASA SEES High School Summer Intern Program

The NASA SEES High School Summer Intern Program, hosted by the Center for Space Research at The University of Texas at Austin, offers motivated high school students the chance to work with real NASA Earth and space science data. Participants engage remotely with research-focused projects guided by scientists, engineers, and university researchers. Selected finalists are invited to an on-campus residency in Austin, where they deepen their work, collaborate in teams, and present their findings.

This program is well-suited for students who:

• Are strongly interested in STEM, especially Earth science, satellite data, climate, or space research
• Enjoy data analysis, coding, problem-solving, or research-style projects
• Are self-motivated and able to work independently in a remote setting

Participation in NASA SEES can strengthen college applications by demonstrating experience with authentic research, collaboration with professionals, and exposure to university-level expectations. Interns gain skills in scientific inquiry, data interpretation, and presenting technical work—qualities that are valuable for competitive STEM majors and scholarship applications. Students interested in pursuing science, engineering, data science, or environmental studies in college will find this program a strong preparation for future academic and research opportunities.
