can you tell us about your role and what

45
00:01:43,830 --> 00:01:40,640
you're doing at the agency

46
00:01:45,830 --> 00:01:43,840
sure um so i am currently

47
00:01:47,910 --> 00:01:45,840
a student airborne research program

48
00:01:50,310 --> 00:01:47,920
intern with nasa armstrong

49
00:01:52,069 --> 00:01:50,320
and my particular my particular project

50
00:01:54,630 --> 00:01:52,079
is working with

51
00:01:56,870 --> 00:01:54,640
looking at past california wildfires uh

52
00:01:59,190 --> 00:01:56,880
specifically over the past two years

53
00:02:00,550 --> 00:01:59,200
and uh figuring out how they relate to

54
00:02:01,429 --> 00:02:00,560
each other in terms of the land that

55
00:02:03,670 --> 00:02:01,439
they scorch

56
00:02:04,870 --> 00:02:03,680
as well as the aerosols that are lifted

57
00:02:07,670 --> 00:02:04,880
into the atmosphere

58
00:02:09,029 --> 00:02:07,680
uh during the fire um some of the other

59
00:02:09,589 --> 00:02:09,039
things that i get to do as part of this

60
00:02:12,630 --> 00:02:09,599
internship

61
00:02:15,910 --> 00:02:12,640
is that i get to take aerosols um

62
00:02:18,390 --> 00:02:15,920
air aerosol samples and uh have them be

63
00:02:19,589 --> 00:02:18,400
analyzed for about over a hundred uh

64
00:02:24,949 --> 00:02:19,599
trace gases

65
00:02:28,390 --> 00:02:26,869
hey your work is super personal to me

66
00:02:30,309 --> 00:02:28,400
since i work in california this is

67
00:02:34,150 --> 00:02:30,319
fascinating and keep up the great work

68
00:02:36,150 --> 00:02:34,160
maria how about you yeah so i'm part of

69
00:02:38,710 --> 00:02:36,160
the brazilian autonomy team at

70
00:02:40,869 --> 00:02:38,720
armstrong and we test the maturity of

71
00:02:41,990 --> 00:02:40,879
technology and inform airworthiness

72
00:02:44,550 --> 00:02:42,000
requirements

73
00:02:46,710 --> 00:02:44,560
to enable future autonomy so finding a

74
00:02:47,830 --> 00:02:46,720
path to certification for autonomous

75
00:02:49,589 --> 00:02:47,840
aircraft

76
00:02:51,750 --> 00:02:49,599
my role is a little unconventional

77
00:02:54,309 --> 00:02:51,760
because i'm not a stem major

78
00:02:55,350 --> 00:02:54,319
but i provide previously unknown

79
00:02:57,670 --> 00:02:55,360
insights

80
00:02:59,830 --> 00:02:57,680
that could provide uh i could improve

81
00:03:01,830 --> 00:02:59,840
the bi-directional relationships

82
00:03:05,110 --> 00:03:01,840
between human computer interactions and

83
00:03:06,790 --> 00:03:05,120
team interactions as well

84
00:03:08,949 --> 00:03:06,800
hey thanks for sharing and i'm glad you

85
00:03:11,990 --> 00:03:08,959
bring that you know diversity of

86
00:03:12,869 --> 00:03:12,000
skills to the agency uh so how many

87
00:03:17,110 --> 00:03:12,879
times did you guys

88
00:03:19,830 --> 00:03:17,120
apply uh before you got accepted

89
00:03:21,589 --> 00:03:19,840
i personally only applied once but it

90
00:03:23,910 --> 00:03:21,599
was a little different because

91
00:03:25,589 --> 00:03:23,920
um i attended csun so cal state

92
00:03:25,910 --> 00:03:25,599
northridge and there's a program there

93
00:03:29,110 --> 00:03:25,920
called

94
00:03:30,309 --> 00:03:29,120
arcs which is a nasa sponsored chartered

95
00:03:32,710 --> 00:03:30,319
center of excellence

96
00:03:34,710 --> 00:03:32,720
so i applied to the program and i got in

97
00:03:35,670 --> 00:03:34,720
and i was able i had the opportunity to

98
00:03:38,149 --> 00:03:35,680
apply for a

99
00:03:40,789 --> 00:03:38,159
nasa internship so that's how i ended up

100
00:03:45,670 --> 00:03:43,910
what about you albert i

101
00:03:47,589 --> 00:03:45,680
am actually kind of the exact opposite

102
00:03:48,710 --> 00:03:47,599
of that um i actually applied about five

103
00:03:51,990 --> 00:03:48,720
times before

104
00:03:53,990 --> 00:03:52,000
uh getting my first internship and um

105
00:03:55,830 --> 00:03:54,000
uh to hop on that note i would just say

106
00:03:58,550 --> 00:03:55,840
that it doesn't matter whether or not

107
00:04:00,949 --> 00:03:58,560
it takes you once or five times or even

108
00:04:02,710 --> 00:04:00,959
a hundred times uh honestly just

109
00:04:06,390 --> 00:04:02,720
more of the story is just keep applying

110
00:04:10,710 --> 00:04:08,470
yeah it's about that perseverance right

111
00:04:13,589 --> 00:04:10,720
absolute pun intended there

112
00:04:14,949 --> 00:04:13,599
how is this nasa internship uh

113
00:04:17,189 --> 00:04:14,959
influencing your career paths we'll

114
00:04:19,990 --> 00:04:17,199
start with you albert

115
00:04:21,909 --> 00:04:20,000
great um so it's definitely in

116
00:04:23,189 --> 00:04:21,919
influencing my career path as i am

117
00:04:26,390 --> 00:04:23,199
currently an engineering major

118
00:04:27,990 --> 00:04:26,400
at virginia tech but i am now even

119
00:04:31,030 --> 00:04:28,000
looking more so into the environmental

120
00:04:33,749 --> 00:04:31,040
sciences uh through the start program

121
00:04:35,590 --> 00:04:33,759
and so with that um especially as i'm

122
00:04:38,230 --> 00:04:35,600
applying to grad school in the fall

123
00:04:38,710 --> 00:04:38,240
i'm now definitely considering uh going

124
00:04:41,350 --> 00:04:38,720
into

125
00:04:42,310 --> 00:04:41,360
even the environmental sciences um as

126
00:04:43,990 --> 00:04:42,320
well throughout

127
00:04:47,510 --> 00:04:44,000
and hopefully throughout the rest of my

128
00:04:50,870 --> 00:04:48,950
and that's fascinating what about you

129
00:04:52,790 --> 00:04:50,880
maria

130
00:04:54,710 --> 00:04:52,800
um so it's definitely brought in my

131
00:04:56,310 --> 00:04:54,720
career in educational pathways

132
00:04:57,749 --> 00:04:56,320
because personally i never thought i

133
00:05:01,350 --> 00:04:57,759
would do anything within

134
00:05:02,950 --> 00:05:01,360
stem being a psychology major so

135
00:05:05,029 --> 00:05:02,960
it's been great because i mean here we

136
00:05:06,790 --> 00:05:05,039
are right so it's like

137
00:05:08,070 --> 00:05:06,800
i'm really excited to see where i

138
00:05:13,189 --> 00:05:08,080
venture next because

139
00:05:18,710 --> 00:05:15,670
that's right and you know on along those

140
00:05:20,950 --> 00:05:18,720
lines what's some advice that you guys

141
00:05:23,189 --> 00:05:20,960
can share to those that want to be nasa

142
00:05:27,270 --> 00:05:23,199
interns

143
00:05:29,350 --> 00:05:27,280
um i would advise don't be afraid to try

144
00:05:31,270 --> 00:05:29,360
i feel like we limit ourselves or we put

145
00:05:31,990 --> 00:05:31,280
restrictions on ourselves without trying

146
00:05:33,670 --> 00:05:32,000
first

147
00:05:35,590 --> 00:05:33,680
um but i think it's very important to

148
00:05:37,670 --> 00:05:35,600
try because trying is winning

149
00:05:41,350 --> 00:05:37,680
and you just might be surprised what you

150
00:05:45,749 --> 00:05:44,870
what about you albert uh the best advice

151
00:05:48,150 --> 00:05:45,759
that i can give

152
00:05:49,110 --> 00:05:48,160
is that you know don't make excuses for

153
00:05:51,350 --> 00:05:49,120
yourself

154
00:05:53,189 --> 00:05:51,360
um you know you definitely want to go

155
00:05:54,150 --> 00:05:53,199
into this application with an open

156
00:05:55,830 --> 00:05:54,160
mindset

157
00:05:57,590 --> 00:05:55,840
and you really just don't want to you

158
00:05:59,029 --> 00:05:57,600
know make all these excuses oh i can't

159
00:06:01,029 --> 00:05:59,039
get this internship or

160
00:06:03,189 --> 00:06:01,039
oh i'm not you know prepared enough but

161
00:06:05,350 --> 00:06:03,199
in reality uh the best thing you can do

162
00:06:07,430 --> 00:06:05,360
for yourself is apply because like

163
00:06:08,870 --> 00:06:07,440
i mean i'm here and i originally thought

164
00:06:11,350 --> 00:06:08,880
that hey i couldn't like

165
00:06:12,550 --> 00:06:11,360
do the stuff that i'm doing now but i'm

166
00:06:16,950 --> 00:06:12,560
i'm here doing it now

167
00:06:18,710 --> 00:06:16,960
so hey for sure and it's about that

168
00:06:20,230 --> 00:06:18,720
resilience right and i'll sprinkle in my

169
00:06:21,029 --> 00:06:20,240
own piece of advice too for folks

170
00:06:23,510 --> 00:06:21,039
listening in

171
00:06:25,590 --> 00:06:23,520
hey go build stuff go break stuff go

172
00:06:27,350 --> 00:06:25,600

173
00:06:29,029 --> 00:06:27,360
be sure to tell those recruiters what

174
00:06:31,270 --> 00:06:29,039

some great insight for our viewers

178
00:06:45,590 --> 00:06:43,749
yeah so as you can see nasa has

179
00:06:46,950 --> 00:06:45,600
opportunities in many areas

237
00:08:28,070 --> 00:08:26,160

today

297
00:10:19,590 --> 00:10:17,519
yeah so we have so many people wondering

298
00:10:22,389 --> 00:10:19,600
how they can become a nasa intern

299
00:10:22,790 --> 00:10:22,399
so how many interns are there at nasa

300
00:10:24,870 --> 00:10:22,800
and

301
00:10:26,710 --> 00:10:24,880
what sorts of opportunities are

302
00:10:28,949 --> 00:10:26,720
available

303
00:10:30,389 --> 00:10:28,959
yeah that's a great question um so right

304
00:10:32,069 --> 00:10:30,399
now through the office of stem

305
00:10:35,350 --> 00:10:32,079
engagement we have over 2

306
00:10:37,190 --> 00:10:35,360
000 interns interning with us at

307
00:10:38,870 --> 00:10:37,200
all the different nasa centers sitting

308
00:10:41,030 --> 00:10:38,880
across the country

309
00:10:42,470 --> 00:10:41,040
this summer we are operating virtually

310
00:10:44,310 --> 00:10:42,480
so we have students

311
00:10:46,389 --> 00:10:44,320
in the us we have students in puerto

312
00:10:48,870 --> 00:10:46,399
rico and then also in

313
00:10:49,990 --> 00:10:48,880
the u.s virgin islands they're interning

314
00:10:51,990 --> 00:10:50,000
on projects

315
00:10:53,430 --> 00:10:52,000
with from the stem disciplines so you

316
00:10:55,430 --> 00:10:53,440
have that science

317
00:10:57,750 --> 00:10:55,440
technology engineering and math but we

318
00:11:00,230 --> 00:10:57,760
also have students working on projects

319
00:11:01,670 --> 00:11:00,240
in some of those mission support areas

320
00:11:04,150 --> 00:11:01,680
such as public affairs

321
00:11:05,430 --> 00:11:04,160
the communication fields the education

322
00:11:07,509 --> 00:11:05,440
fields

323
00:11:09,750 --> 00:11:07,519
even finance and accounting because nasa

324
00:11:12,069 --> 00:11:09,760
tries to remain diverse and inclusive in

325
00:11:13,590 --> 00:11:12,079
all the students and the backgrounds

326
00:11:13,990 --> 00:11:13,600
because we need those jobs to

327
00:11:17,590 --> 00:11:14,000
essentially

328
00:11:20,150 --> 00:11:17,600
get to the moon one day that's right i

329
00:11:22,470 --> 00:11:20,160
would wholeheartedly agree with that

330
00:11:24,389 --> 00:11:22,480
so what are some requirements that uh

331
00:11:26,150 --> 00:11:24,399
people need to know about to become nasa

332
00:11:27,990 --> 00:11:26,160
interns

333
00:11:30,790 --> 00:11:28,000
yeah so the first thing i love to tell

334
00:11:32,550 --> 00:11:30,800
students um is head to intern.nasa.gov

335
00:11:33,110 --> 00:11:32,560
that is going to be your one-stop shop

336
00:11:35,670 --> 00:11:33,120
to view

337
00:11:37,190 --> 00:11:35,680
all of the different internships that

338
00:11:39,829 --> 00:11:37,200
nasa offers

339
00:11:41,509 --> 00:11:39,839
but for an example for the office of

340
00:11:44,710 --> 00:11:41,519
some engagement internships

341
00:11:46,389 --> 00:11:44,720
that i currently work on and manage

342
00:11:47,990 --> 00:11:46,399
we have a few eligibility requirements

343
00:11:49,509 --> 00:11:48,000
that each student needs to meet before

344
00:11:50,389 --> 00:11:49,519
going ahead and clicking that submit

345
00:11:51,990 --> 00:11:50,399
button

346
00:11:53,590 --> 00:11:52,000
so the first one being that you do need

347
00:11:56,949 --> 00:11:53,600
a 3.0 gpa

348
00:11:58,710 --> 00:11:56,959
on a 4.0 scale students do need to be at

349
00:12:01,269 --> 00:11:58,720
least 16 years of age

350
00:12:02,710 --> 00:12:01,279
at the time of application they need to

351
00:12:04,470 --> 00:12:02,720
be a us citizen

352
00:12:06,470 --> 00:12:04,480
and then students also need to be

353
00:12:08,550 --> 00:12:06,480
enrolled in an accredited college or

354
00:12:12,470 --> 00:12:08,560
university but they can also be in high

355
00:12:16,310 --> 00:12:14,629
got it so there's so many programs so

356
00:12:19,190 --> 00:12:16,320
what are some of the different type of

357
00:12:21,509 --> 00:12:19,200
internships at nasa

358
00:12:23,670 --> 00:12:21,519
gosh there are so many different

359
00:12:26,310 --> 00:12:23,680
pathways to getting to nasa and just

360
00:12:28,629 --> 00:12:26,320
getting into a nasa internship i think

361
00:12:30,389 --> 00:12:28,639
any full-time nasa employee i speak with

362
00:12:32,870 --> 00:12:30,399
has a little bit different of a path

363
00:12:34,310 --> 00:12:32,880
on how they got to where they are today

364
00:12:36,310 --> 00:12:34,320
um but two of our

365
00:12:38,550 --> 00:12:36,320
larger programs are like i said the

366
00:12:40,230 --> 00:12:38,560
office of some engagement internships

367
00:12:41,750 --> 00:12:40,240
and then we also have our pathways

368
00:12:44,310 --> 00:12:41,760
program as well

369
00:12:44,949 --> 00:12:44,320
which is more on the federal side so

370
00:12:47,030 --> 00:12:44,959
first

371
00:12:48,990 --> 00:12:47,040
to view those internships and what's

372
00:12:50,389 --> 00:12:49,000
available you can go ahead to

373
00:12:52,870 --> 00:12:50,399
intern.nasa.gov

374
00:12:53,670 --> 00:12:52,880
nasa also has a few other smaller

375
00:12:56,389 --> 00:12:53,680
programs

376
00:12:57,110 --> 00:12:56,399
um but also just as great our lspace

377
00:12:58,629 --> 00:12:57,120
academy

378
00:13:00,389 --> 00:12:58,639
and then we also have internships

379
00:13:01,590 --> 00:13:00,399
through the jet propulsion propulsion

380

laboratory

381

educator and teacher opportunities as

402
00:13:44,870 --> 00:13:42,560
well

403
00:13:46,790 --> 00:13:44,880
yeah so there's such a vast you know

404
00:13:48,790 --> 00:13:46,800
amount of programs to get to nasa and

405
00:13:50,389 --> 00:13:48,800
hoping all of you join us one day

406
00:13:51,829 --> 00:13:50,399
and you know along those lines what are

407
00:13:55,509 --> 00:13:51,839
some highlights you know that

408
00:13:57,670 --> 00:13:55,519
that interns at nasa have

409
00:14:00,150 --> 00:13:57,680
yeah so many highlights i can speak from

410
00:14:02,550 --> 00:14:00,160
prior experience um i was a nasa intern

411
00:14:03,910 --> 00:14:02,560
but a few short years ago

412
00:14:06,150 --> 00:14:03,920
and i think the first highlight i would

413
00:14:06,949 --> 00:14:06,160
want to touch on is that students really

414
00:14:10,389 --> 00:14:06,959
have that

415
00:14:11,670 --> 00:14:10,399
opportunity to contribute to nasa's

416
00:14:14,230 --> 00:14:11,680
overall missions

417
00:14:15,750 --> 00:14:14,240
and really receive wholesome experiences

418
00:14:17,030 --> 00:14:15,760
and work with some of the greatest minds

419
00:14:18,389 --> 00:14:17,040
in the world

420
00:14:19,829 --> 00:14:18,399
and then the second highlight i

421
00:14:20,550 --> 00:14:19,839
definitely think is the amount of

422
00:14:22,389 --> 00:14:20,560
networking

423
00:14:24,550 --> 00:14:22,399
and student engagement opportunities

424
00:14:26,150 --> 00:14:24,560
that each student gets

425
00:14:28,470 --> 00:14:26,160
it allows them to grow both

426
00:14:29,750 --> 00:14:28,480
professionally and then personally as

427
00:14:31,670 --> 00:14:29,760
well

428
00:14:33,189 --> 00:14:31,680
students also receive opportunities to

429
00:14:35,350 --> 00:14:33,199
meet and greet with other interns

430
00:14:37,829 --> 00:14:35,360
across the agency through some

431
00:14:39,030 --> 00:14:37,839
student-led committees such as taxi

432
00:14:41,030 --> 00:14:39,040
and then they really just get the

433
00:14:43,430 --> 00:14:41,040
privilege to work on projects that have

434
00:14:45,670 --> 00:14:43,440
a lot of cross-collaboration

435
00:14:48,629 --> 00:14:45,680
across organizations at each center and

436
00:14:51,350 --> 00:14:48,639
then across each nasa center as well

437
00:14:52,389 --> 00:14:51,360
i like to tell students to look and to

438
00:14:53,750 --> 00:14:52,399
learn more about

439
00:14:55,590 --> 00:14:53,760
some of the student highlights that are

440
00:14:57,189 --> 00:14:55,600
going on from session to session

441
00:14:59,189 --> 00:14:57,199
they can check out our social media

442
00:15:02,230 --> 00:14:59,199

of the deadlines that are coming up

447
00:15:09,350 --> 00:15:07,760
and then also about the really cool and

448
00:15:12,710 --> 00:15:09,360
exciting projects that our students are

449
00:15:14,230 --> 00:15:12,720
working on today

450
00:15:16,310 --> 00:15:14,240

522
00:17:29,510 --> 00:17:27,280
my favorite part about being an intern

523
00:17:31,190 --> 00:17:29,520
is the people in just three short months

524
00:17:32,470 --> 00:17:31,200
you get to work alongside people from

525
00:17:33,990 --> 00:17:32,480
all across the country

528
00:17:38,870 --> 00:17:36,720
i know i've made some lifelong

529
00:17:40,630 --> 00:17:38,880
friendships in this program i loved

530
00:17:41,669 --> 00:17:40,640
interning at nasa because i was working

531
00:17:44,070 --> 00:17:41,679
on real engineering

532
00:17:46,310 --> 00:17:44,080
problems alongside senior engineers and

533
00:17:47,990 --> 00:17:46,320
i was also doing my part to help advance

534
00:17:50,070 --> 00:17:48,000
human space exploration

535
00:17:52,470 --> 00:17:50,080
my favorite thing about interning at

536
00:17:54,070 --> 00:17:52,480
nasa was feeling like i belong

537
00:17:56,710 --> 00:17:54,080
there really is a place for everyone

538
00:17:59,669 --> 00:17:56,720
here at nasa what i liked the most about

539
00:18:00,310 --> 00:17:59,679
nasa was that it was very inclusive the

540
00:18:01,909 --> 00:18:00,320
value

541
00:18:03,830 --> 00:18:01,919
of diversity and they were very

542
00:18:06,470 --> 00:18:03,840
welcoming they really want you

543
00:18:07,669 --> 00:18:06,480
to do well they want to see you succeed

544
00:18:09,270 --> 00:18:07,679
back when i was an intern

545
00:18:11,270 --> 00:18:09,280
i learned a ton about professional

546
00:18:12,789 --> 00:18:11,280
communication and other skills i would

547
00:18:14,150 --> 00:18:12,799
need to be part of this world-class

548
00:18:15,590 --> 00:18:14,160
flight control team

549
00:18:17,590 --> 00:18:15,600
the thing that i really enjoyed most

550
00:18:19,190 --> 00:18:17,600
about working as an intern is that i got

551
00:18:20,870 --> 00:18:19,200
to contribute to projects that are going

552
00:18:23,270 --> 00:18:20,880
to take humans back to the moon

553
00:18:24,310 --> 00:18:23,280
and eventually to mars i learned that i

554
00:18:27,270 --> 00:18:24,320
didn't want to go do

555
00:18:27,990 --> 00:18:27,280
something that didn't have meaning at

556
00:18:30,470 --> 00:18:28,000
the end of the day

557
00:18:32,150 --> 00:18:30,480
i wanted to work on something that was

558
00:18:34,630 --> 00:18:32,160
changing the world for the better

559
00:18:35,750 --> 00:18:34,640
and something i could talk about proudly

560
00:18:38,070 --> 00:18:35,760
with my family

561
00:18:39,350 --> 00:18:38,080
and my kids one day what i appreciated

562
00:18:41,590 --> 00:18:39,360
most was all the

563
00:18:43,270 --> 00:18:41,600
people i got to meet and the experiences

564
00:18:44,070 --> 00:18:43,280
i got to have moving forward in my

565
00:18:46,390 --> 00:18:44,080
career

566
00:18:48,230 --> 00:18:46,400
my internship at nasa helped me realize

567
00:18:49,190 --> 00:18:48,240
that i didn't need a science degree to

568
00:18:51,430 --> 00:18:49,200
work there

569
00:18:53,590 --> 00:18:51,440
my favorite thing about interning at

570
00:18:54,230 --> 00:18:53,600
nasa was the ability to meet and network

571
00:18:56,310 --> 00:18:54,240
with nasa

572
00:18:57,430 --> 00:18:56,320
scientists and engineers and i even got

573
00:19:00,150 --> 00:18:57,440
the chance to meet two

574
00:19:01,750 --> 00:19:00,160
apollo astronauts it was unlike anything

575
00:19:03,990 --> 00:19:01,760
i've ever seen before in my life

576
00:19:06,310 --> 00:19:04,000
and that is the reason i came back

577
00:19:07,669 --> 00:19:06,320
because nasa is not just a place to work

578
00:19:13,510 --> 00:19:07,679
for me

579
00:19:17,990 --> 00:19:16,310
so we're back with annelise to answer a

580
00:19:21,590 --> 00:19:18,000
few of your questions

581
00:19:24,390 --> 00:19:21,600
and our first hashtag ask nasa question

582
00:19:25,430 --> 00:19:24,400
is coming from marcus on facebook who

583
00:19:27,029 --> 00:19:25,440
asks

584
00:19:28,630 --> 00:19:27,039
i haven't been in school for quite some

585
00:19:31,669 --> 00:19:28,640
time but can i get

586
00:19:34,470 --> 00:19:31,679
an internship at nasa

587
00:19:36,150 --> 00:19:34,480
great question marcus again i always

588
00:19:38,870 --> 00:19:36,160
like to preface is go ahead

589
00:19:40,310 --> 00:19:38,880
and take a look at intern.nasa.gov for

590
00:19:43,029 --> 00:19:40,320
our office of stem engagement

591
00:19:45,669 --> 00:19:43,039
internships you will need to be enrolled

592
00:19:48,390 --> 00:19:45,679
um in like i said an accredited college

593
00:19:50,710 --> 00:19:48,400
or university or in high school as well

594
00:19:52,710 --> 00:19:50,720
or you also could be able to show that

595
00:19:53,270 --> 00:19:52,720
you are pursuing your next academic

596
00:19:55,029 --> 00:19:53,280
pursuit

597
00:19:56,710 --> 00:19:55,039
um so take a look on that website and

598
00:20:00,230 --> 00:19:56,720
see if you fall into any of the other

599
00:20:06,549 --> 00:20:04,149
at a debelca on twitter asks

600
00:20:07,190 --> 00:20:06,559
can a medical student participate in an

601
00:20:10,230 --> 00:20:07,200
internship

602
00:20:11,909 --> 00:20:10,240
at nasa of course

603
00:20:14,149 --> 00:20:11,919
like i said nasa tries to remain

604
00:20:14,789 --> 00:20:14,159
inclusive and diverse in the students

605
00:20:17,350 --> 00:20:14,799
that

606
00:20:19,590 --> 00:20:17,360
they bring on for their internships

607
00:20:21,590 --> 00:20:19,600
personally speaking i work at the nasa

608
00:20:23,430 --> 00:20:21,600
johnson space center and we do usually

609
00:20:26,230 --> 00:20:23,440
hire a good cohort

610
00:20:27,270 --> 00:20:26,240
of medical students working on some

611
00:20:30,310 --> 00:20:27,280
biomechanic

612
00:20:31,510 --> 00:20:30,320
and spacesuit type projects especially

613
00:20:33,909 --> 00:20:31,520
during the summer time

614
00:20:35,909 --> 00:20:33,919
so like i said keep an eye out on that

615
00:20:40,390 --> 00:20:35,919
that website um and for some opening

616
00:20:45,350 --> 00:20:43,990
and now we have basil e frankweiler also

617
00:20:48,710 --> 00:20:45,360
from twitter

618
00:20:51,270 --> 00:20:48,720
who asks i recently heard about artists

619
00:20:53,270 --> 00:20:51,280
at nasa i'd love to hear more about what

620
00:20:55,990 --> 00:20:53,280
they do

621
00:20:57,750 --> 00:20:56,000
that is such a great question i actually

622
00:20:59,669 --> 00:20:57,760
sit in the same office as one of our

623
00:21:01,909 --> 00:20:59,679
resident artists

624
00:21:03,190 --> 00:21:01,919
at johnson space center many of our

625
00:21:06,710 --> 00:21:03,200
artists also work

626
00:21:08,470 --> 00:21:06,720
in that graphic design type field as

627
00:21:09,830 --> 00:21:08,480
well so if that's part of your skill

628
00:21:11,990 --> 00:21:09,840
sets i encourage you to

629
00:21:14,310 --> 00:21:12,000
maybe search by keyword for graphic

630
00:21:17,029 --> 00:21:14,320
design or visual arts

631
00:21:19,190 --> 00:21:17,039
along those lines but again speaking

632
00:21:21,350 --> 00:21:19,200
from my own personal experience

633
00:21:23,350 --> 00:21:21,360
and i know several other nasa centers do

634
00:21:25,190 --> 00:21:23,360
have resident artists that do

635
00:21:27,270 --> 00:21:25,200
a lot of the different work for the

636
00:21:28,630 --> 00:21:27,280
center operations they may be painting

637
00:21:30,470 --> 00:21:28,640
murals

638
00:21:32,950 --> 00:21:30,480
around the center and other things along

639
00:21:35,190 --> 00:21:32,960
those lines

640
00:21:37,430 --> 00:21:35,200
yeah i'll add to that too at jpl we have

641
00:21:38,950 --> 00:21:37,440
fantastic artists that come up with all

642
00:21:41,190 --> 00:21:38,960
kinds of graphics and posters that

643
00:21:42,870 --> 00:21:41,200
you're welcome to look up online

644
00:21:44,390 --> 00:21:42,880
that highlight all of our missions

645
00:21:46,230 --> 00:21:44,400
coming out of jpl and

646
00:21:47,590 --> 00:21:46,240
it's amazing artwork i have some around

647
00:21:49,830 --> 00:21:47,600
my house too uh

648
00:21:50,789 --> 00:21:49,840
fantastic work we have some some artists

649
00:21:53,830 --> 00:21:50,799
doing

650
00:21:55,110 --> 00:21:53,840
so anna from facebook asks how can you

651
00:21:57,190 --> 00:21:55,120
become an intern if you're an

652
00:22:00,070 --> 00:21:57,200
international student

653
00:22:01,830 --> 00:22:00,080
anna great question and great name um i

654
00:22:04,390 --> 00:22:01,840
would encourage you again

655
00:22:06,630 --> 00:22:04,400
you're going to go to intern.nasa.gov

656
00:22:07,270 --> 00:22:06,640
and we do have an international student

657
00:22:10,230 --> 00:22:07,280
program

658
00:22:12,310 --> 00:22:10,240
for interns located and based out of the

659
00:22:13,430 --> 00:22:12,320
ames research center up in northern

660
00:22:16,070 --> 00:22:13,440
california

661
00:22:16,710 --> 00:22:16,080
so once you head on to that website you

662
00:22:18,950 --> 00:22:16,720
can see

663
00:22:20,870 --> 00:22:18,960
if your country of residency falls under

664
00:22:22,710 --> 00:22:20,880
that space act agreement

665
00:22:24,390 --> 00:22:22,720
and allows you to pursue a nasa

666
00:22:26,070 --> 00:22:24,400
internship so again that will give you a

667
00:22:28,470 --> 00:22:26,080
whole list

668
00:22:29,590 --> 00:22:28,480
and some directions on what you can you

669
00:22:32,789 --> 00:22:29,600
can take on

670
00:22:34,630 --> 00:22:32,799
for the international program that's

671
00:22:36,149 --> 00:22:34,640
right here at jpl we have many

672
00:22:38,310 --> 00:22:36,159
international students as well

673
00:22:40,230 --> 00:22:38,320
from specific schools specific countries

674
00:22:41,510 --> 00:22:40,240
i again you know along those lines

675
00:22:42,789 --> 00:22:41,520
there's specific programs you're gonna

676
00:22:43,590 --> 00:22:42,799
have to do a little bit of work digging

677
00:22:46,789 --> 00:22:43,600
them up

678
00:22:49,510 --> 00:22:46,799
but but it is possible for some folks so

679
00:22:51,190 --> 00:22:49,520
ashford on youtube asks how do we go

680
00:22:51,909 --> 00:22:51,200
about applying for an internship if we

681
00:22:55,669 --> 00:22:51,919
don't have

682
00:22:57,510 --> 00:22:55,679
much experience outside of school work

683
00:23:00,390 --> 00:22:57,520
i would encourage you first is to get

684
00:23:00,630 --> 00:23:00,400
involved whether it's at your university

685
00:23:03,990 --> 00:23:00,640
or

686
00:23:05,590 --> 00:23:04,000
wherever you may be

687
00:23:07,990 --> 00:23:05,600
but it can also be within your local

688
00:23:09,830 --> 00:23:08,000
community you can join some clubs and

689
00:23:11,270 --> 00:23:09,840
things like that that really near what

690
00:23:12,789 --> 00:23:11,280
your interests are

691
00:23:14,789 --> 00:23:12,799
um you know if you have an interest in

692
00:23:16,390 --> 00:23:14,799
robotics maybe you can look for

693
00:23:18,710 --> 00:23:16,400
first robotics clubs if you have an

694
00:23:20,870 --> 00:23:18,720
interest in you know graphic design and

695
00:23:23,110 --> 00:23:20,880
things like that look for opportunities

696
00:23:25,270 --> 00:23:23,120
wherever you're at to go and grow those

697
00:23:27,110 --> 00:23:25,280
skill sets

698
00:23:28,549 --> 00:23:27,120
and with that once you have those skill

699
00:23:29,510 --> 00:23:28,559
sets and once you're filling out the

700
00:23:31,350 --> 00:23:29,520
application

701
00:23:32,950 --> 00:23:31,360
i encourage students to really think

702
00:23:35,510 --> 00:23:32,960
about what their interests are

703
00:23:37,510 --> 00:23:35,520
and how they've applied those interests

704
00:23:40,149 --> 00:23:37,520
firsthand and go ahead and put some of

705
00:23:43,590 --> 00:23:40,159
those keywords into the application too

706
00:23:45,190 --> 00:23:43,600
so get out there and get involved

707
00:23:46,710 --> 00:23:45,200
that's right and i'll add to that too

708
00:23:48,549 --> 00:23:46,720
highlighting what i said earlier

709
00:23:50,230 --> 00:23:48,559
you know go if you don't have the chance

710
00:23:52,070 --> 00:23:50,240
of having internships or

711
00:23:53,909 --> 00:23:52,080
research or you know whatever one of

712
00:23:55,990 --> 00:23:53,919
these pathways is on your own

713
00:23:58,070 --> 00:23:56,000
go build stuff go break stuff there's so

714
00:23:59,830 --> 00:23:58,080
many resources online nowadays

715
00:24:01,750 --> 00:23:59,840
i encourage you to just go explore all

716
00:24:02,549 --> 00:24:01,760
the skill sets that that are out there

717
00:24:04,549 --> 00:24:02,559
whatever you

718
00:24:05,990 --> 00:24:04,559
you know pursue be passionate about and

719
00:24:07,350 --> 00:24:06,000
learn how to tell a story with it i

720
00:24:07,990 --> 00:24:07,360
think that's very important in this

721
00:24:11,590 --> 00:24:08,000
whole

722
00:24:15,909 --> 00:24:11,600
um you know joining process here so pama

723
00:24:17,830 --> 00:24:15,919
from youtube asks are internships paid

724
00:24:19,909 --> 00:24:17,840
yes they are a great question most of

725
00:24:20,630 --> 00:24:19,919
our internships across the agency are

726
00:24:23,430 --> 00:24:20,640
paid

727
00:24:25,350 --> 00:24:23,440
um they do differ a bit based on your

728
00:24:27,750 --> 00:24:25,360
specific academic level

729
00:24:28,549 --> 00:24:27,760
um you know high school versus undergrad

730
00:24:32,870 --> 00:24:28,559
versus

731
00:24:34,950 --> 00:24:32,880
get paid a little bit differently

732
00:24:36,149 --> 00:24:34,960
um in the way that they whether they're

733
00:24:39,510 --> 00:24:36,159
a stipend um

734
00:24:41,269 --> 00:24:39,520
or just you know a bi-weekly paycheck so

735
00:24:43,110 --> 00:24:41,279
they are paid um and again check out

736
00:24:44,870 --> 00:24:43,120
that intern.nasa.gov

737
00:24:50,230 --> 00:24:44,880
site and that can break down a couple of

738
00:24:56,149 --> 00:24:53,990
now we have dimad on youtube who ask

739
00:24:57,110 --> 00:24:56,159
what type of work do you recommend us to

740
00:25:01,110 --> 00:24:57,120
study

741
00:25:03,029 --> 00:25:01,120
that could be useful to enter

742
00:25:05,190 --> 00:25:03,039
yeah i'm going to put the ball back in

743
00:25:07,669 --> 00:25:05,200
your court on this one my friend

744
00:25:09,430 --> 00:25:07,679
i really encourage you to go out and

745
00:25:12,310 --> 00:25:09,440
look at what your real interests

746
00:25:14,149 --> 00:25:12,320
are you know i can't pick a major for

747
00:25:14,789 --> 00:25:14,159
you when you're going into college but i

748
00:25:17,110 --> 00:25:14,799
think

749
00:25:18,549 --> 00:25:17,120
once you get um you know into school

750
00:25:19,990 --> 00:25:18,559
you'll learn about what some of your

751
00:25:23,990 --> 00:25:20,000
interests are

752
00:25:26,630 --> 00:25:24,000
so um really take a look in that regard

753
00:25:27,350 --> 00:25:26,640
again like i said nasa hires a lot of

754
00:25:29,750 --> 00:25:27,360
stem

755
00:25:30,549 --> 00:25:29,760
um disciplines and fields so there's

756
00:25:33,269 --> 00:25:30,559
science

757
00:25:34,549 --> 00:25:33,279
technology engineering and math um but

758
00:25:36,549 --> 00:25:34,559
say you have an interest

759
00:25:38,789 --> 00:25:36,559
like we said in social media maybe

760
00:25:40,950 --> 00:25:38,799
you'll pursue a communications path

761
00:25:43,430 --> 00:25:40,960
nasa needs social media experts to put

762
00:25:45,750 --> 00:25:43,440
on events like this one perhaps so

763
00:25:47,269 --> 00:25:45,760
really wherever your interests fall um

764
00:25:50,470 --> 00:25:47,279
you know take that and run with it

765
00:25:52,549 --> 00:25:50,480
i am a teacher by degree um so i took my

766
00:25:53,430 --> 00:25:52,559
education path and mailed it melded it

767
00:25:55,430 --> 00:25:53,440
with stem

768
00:25:56,789 --> 00:25:55,440
and here we are coordinating internship

769
00:25:58,310 --> 00:25:56,799
programs so there's plenty of

770
00:26:00,470 --> 00:25:58,320
opportunities for you

771
00:26:03,590 --> 00:26:00,480
to kind of pursue whatever your dreams

772
00:26:07,029 --> 00:26:05,029
and i'll just sprinkle in if you're

773
00:26:09,190 --> 00:26:07,039
coming into engineering and i'm biased

774
00:26:10,789 --> 00:26:09,200
right i want everybody to be an engineer

775
00:26:12,470 --> 00:26:10,799
regardless of what engineering degree

776
00:26:14,789 --> 00:26:12,480
you do i just recommend you go learn how

777
00:26:17,029 --> 00:26:14,799
to code one way or another

778
00:26:18,149 --> 00:26:17,039
definitely becomes very useful in any

779
00:26:21,350 --> 00:26:18,159
technical path

780
00:26:24,630 --> 00:26:21,360
so now we have raja on youtube who asks

781
00:26:26,789 --> 00:26:24,640
are there any age limits raja

782
00:26:29,029 --> 00:26:26,799
another great question for the office of

783
00:26:30,950 --> 00:26:29,039
stem engagement program and then

784
00:26:32,149 --> 00:26:30,960
also for the pathways and other programs

785
00:26:34,950 --> 00:26:32,159
you will need to be

786
00:26:36,630 --> 00:26:34,960
at least 16 years of age at the time of

787
00:26:38,710 --> 00:26:36,640
your application

788
00:26:40,630 --> 00:26:38,720
so keep an eye out there but like i said

789
00:26:43,750 --> 00:26:40,640
nasa does offer some other

790
00:26:45,750 --> 00:26:43,760
activities and student engagement

791
00:26:47,430 --> 00:26:45,760
type opportunities especially we have a

792
00:26:48,950 --> 00:26:47,440
great one again out of johnson space

793
00:26:50,070 --> 00:26:48,960
center called the high school aerospace

794
00:26:52,390 --> 00:26:50,080
scholars

795
00:26:53,990 --> 00:26:52,400
where you get a chance to come to one of

796
00:26:56,549 --> 00:26:54,000
the nasa centers

797
00:26:59,350 --> 00:26:56,559
and work on a team and produce some

798
00:27:01,549 --> 00:26:59,360
different types of materials there so

799
00:27:03,669 --> 00:27:01,559
there are a couple age limits but again

800
00:27:05,590 --> 00:27:03,679
intern.nasa.gov will be able to give you

801
00:27:06,870 --> 00:27:05,600
a breakdown of those

802
00:27:13,110 --> 00:27:06,880
and then for the office of stem

803
00:27:16,310 --> 00:27:15,510
all right so we have time for one more

804
00:27:19,029 --> 00:27:16,320
question

805
00:27:19,990 --> 00:27:19,039
team explorers on youtube asked what if

806
00:27:21,430 --> 00:27:20,000
you want to be an intern

807
00:27:22,950 --> 00:27:21,440
but live in a state far away from the

808
00:27:24,549 --> 00:27:22,960
nasa space center do you have to move

809
00:27:26,789 --> 00:27:24,559
closer

810
00:27:27,909 --> 00:27:26,799
uh another good question so like i

811
00:27:30,549 --> 00:27:27,919
mentioned before

812
00:27:31,269 --> 00:27:30,559
um our interns um are operating

813
00:27:34,149 --> 00:27:31,279
virtually

814
00:27:36,149 --> 00:27:34,159
this summer so students are working

815
00:27:38,389 --> 00:27:36,159
across the agency from the comfort of

816
00:27:40,630 --> 00:27:38,399
their own home or dorm room

817
00:27:41,510 --> 00:27:40,640
but as we move forward and we go back to

818
00:27:45,510 --> 00:27:41,520
center

819
00:27:47,269 --> 00:27:45,520
will be asked to relocate

820
00:27:48,870 --> 00:27:47,279
closer to that area so they're able to

821
00:27:53,510 --> 00:27:48,880
get onto that nasa center

822
00:27:59,029 --> 00:27:55,990
