Internships
- GTRI High School Summer Internships - Georgia high school students who are at least 16 years old may be eligible to apply for five-week summer internships hosted in GTRI labs. Interns work on projects at the GTRI Atlanta campus, Cobb County Research Facility, and the Warner Robins field office with the goal of providing students with real-world experiences in science and engineering research. GTRI researchers mentor students by working with them on projects to engage them in first-hand STEM experiences, with the goals of helping bridge the gap in Georgia’s STEM workforce by creating awareness of STEM career opportunities.
- REAL (Research, Experiment, Analyze, Learn) Program - A five-week summer research experience for high school students (age 16 and over), this program has served as an initiative of the Georgia Immersive Fellowships for Teachers (GIFT) summer program since 2004. Participating students are from underrepresented populations in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education. Students experience and conduct research with their respective GIFT teachers in various university laboratories.
