(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.
