This internship offers a unique opportunity for high school students to directly contribute to K-12 education by developing computing-infused curricula and software tools, while also gaining valuable research experience and potentially earning a stipend.
The NC State University Computer Science High School Internship Program is a multi-week, in-person opportunity designed for high school students interested in developing collaborative software engineering skills and applying computing to socially relevant problems. Interns participate in a computing boot-camp to enhance their proficiency in advanced block-based programming environments and generative AI. Following the boot-camp, students are assigned to teams where they work collaboratively to develop and program innovative computing-infused curricula and software tools, such as games, simulations, and tutorials, aimed at engaging middle school students in science concepts. The program emphasizes hands-on experience in creating educational tools and software for K-12 classrooms. Students gain practical skills in programming, software engineering, and data analytics, while also learning about computing for social good. The internship also includes opportunities to attend weekly seminars on computing topics and research practices, and interns can earn school credit hours. From 2025-2027, interns selected for the TRACES project are eligible for a $1,500 stipend.
A typical day involves participating in a computing boot-camp, working in teams to develop and program educational software tools, and potentially attending seminars on computing topics and research practices.
This program is best for high school students who have prior block or text-based coding experience and are interested in collaborative software engineering, generative AI, and applying computing to create educational tools for K-12 science classrooms.
