The University of Nebraska at Omaha's College of Information Science and Technology offers a Summer High School Internship Program that gives students an innovative, hands-on experience directly in their labs.
Students will work alongside faculty and students in areas such as robotics, bioinformatics, software engineering, information assurance, IT innovation, iOS/Droid app development, gaming lab, and others. They will learn the fun and excitement of scientific research and development activities as well as explore potential careers in IT. This internship will give them the opportunity to learn new concepts, tools and skills, work on real research and help solve development problems.
The internship period is June 3-July 26, 2019 (8 weeks). Final presentations will be held on the 26th and attendance is required.
