McFadden: The
higher ed component of the Office of Education focuses on internships for
undergraduates, graduates, and post-doctoral fellows. So we have a number of
interns all year round, but we also have a large numbers of interns in the
summer over 400 interns, working with mentors, doing research projects, and
gaining practical research experience at Goddard. Some interns work with
scientists and will analyze some of their scientific data. For example, some
earth sciences data, trying to understand the development of hurricanes at the
Earth, for example. And then we also have engineering students who build some
robotics. We have a Robotics Boot Camp. The Office of Education looks at all of
the student opportunities as an education pipeline, and even a work force
pipeline. So we have students that we want to encourage them to cultivate their
interests, and to eventually work here at Goddard or with the aerospace
industry.
