Marine Science Education Summer Camp Interns
URL: http://mote.org/research/internships
Affiliation: non-MATE
Company / Organization: Mote Marine Laboratory
Type: College/University Internships
City: Sarasota
State or Country if outside US: Florida
Description:
Potential Interns should be pursuing a degree in education or (marine) science, have strong communication skills, and enjoy working with children. They should be comfortable spending long, hot days outside and in the water. CPR, First Aid, and Lifeguard certifications are required (SCUBA certification optional). Though teaching experience is a plus, it is not required. All Interns will receive intensive and thorough training in marine science topics, education pedagogy, and the work of Mote Marine Laboratory. Mote Education Summer Interns will become more comfortable and confident teachers/presenters, gain curriculum development experience, and make valuable professional contacts for future scientific and/or educational endeavors. Most Interns will spend at least one week in the Florida Keys, assisting with our snorkel/dive camps, and may have some limited opportunities to shadow or visit with Mote research and/or aquarium staff.
