(Lucy McFadden) The higher-end component of the Office
of Education focuses on internships for

3
00:00:07,890 --> 00:00:14,340
undergraduates, graduates, and
post-doctoral fellows. So we have a number

4
00:00:14,340 --> 00:00:19,859
of interns all year round, but we also
have a large number of interns in the

5
00:00:19,859 --> 00:00:24,570
summer over 400 interns, working with
mentors, doing research projects, and

6
00:00:24,570 --> 00:00:29,550
gaining practical research experience at
Goddard. Some interns work with

7
00:00:29,550 --> 00:00:34,200
scientists and will analyze some of
their scientific data. For example, some

8
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:39,540
Earth sciences data, trying to understand
the development of hurricanes at the

9
00:00:39,540 --> 00:00:43,530
Earth, for example. And then we also have engineering students who build some

10
00:00:43,530 --> 00:00:49,440
robotics. We have a Robotics Boot Camp.
The Office of Education looks at all of

11
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:53,910
the student opportunities as an
education pipeline, and even a work force

12
00:00:53,910 --> 00:00:59,370
pipeline. So we have students that we
want to encourage them to cultivate

13
00:00:59,370 --> 00:01:04,290
their interests, and to eventually work
here at Goddard or with the aerospace

14
00:01:04,290 --> 00:01:06,890
industry.
