I am writing you today about an exciting paid internship opportunity for your undergraduate and graduate students for the summer of 2013. Details: Location: Hagerstown, MD and Frederick, MD Dates & Time: June 10th-August 16th, from 8:00am to 4:00pm. Paid: Yes (based on completed semester hours) What: Mentoring & teaching elementary, middle, and high school students in STEM labs. Travel and Accommodation: Not covered The United States Army Medical Research and Materiel Command places a great emphasis on broadening students' interest in science, technology, engineering and mathematics to inspire them to consider careers in these fields. One of the ways we hope to accomplish this is through our summer STEM program called GEMS (Gains in the Education of Mathematics and Science). U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Disease (USAMRIID) Fort Detrick Gains in the Education of Mathematics and Sciences (GEMS) near-peer mentor is responsible for guiding middle school and high school student interns through science and engineering experiments. The mentor will complete training prior to the start of the program. The training session will teach the mentor how to relate to students, present experiments, and practice the planned curriculum. College students are eligible to apply for a near-peer mentor internship position that lasts from June 10th-August 16th.
