When I was a little kid, I was fascinated by science. Some of my favorite things to do were to wake up early on Saturday mornings to watch Mr. Wizard’s World, ask my Dad show me Chemistry experiments, and build all kinds of paper airplanes. I was just the kind of kid that would love the Museum of Science, Boston, and I’d still love to spend a day there if I ever get the chance. Their mission is to “stimulate interest in and further understanding of science and technology and their importance for individuals and for society,” and judging from their Flickr gallery, they’re definitely doing that. Some of their attractions include an IMAX theater, a Planetarium, a Laser show, a 3-D Digital Cinema, and an awesome looking Simulator that can take you under the sea or to outer space. That’s not even getting into the Museum of Science’s current exhibits. Boston’s Museum of Science looks like an insanely cool place to visit, and an even cooler place to do an internship.
If you were a nerdy kid like me who loved (and still loves) science and you want to share that passion with today’s kids, then there aren’t many better places to intern than museums. And if you want to work at a science museum, it looks like the Museum of Science, Boston would be hard to beat. Like I said, I’ve never been there, but their website makes it look like a truly amazing place. If you’re intrigued, check out their Internships page. They have more than a dozen opportunities available this summer in areas that include: Genzyme Molecular Literacy, Computers and Young Learners Exhibit Design, Summer Course Teaching Assistant, Discovery Center Interpretation, Human Body Connection “Connecting People and Plants,” Human Body Connection – Circadian Rhythm Software Development, Human Body Connection Microscope Exhibit Support, Living Laboratory (Cognitive Science), Marketing, Media Relations, Mural Artist (Military Robot Exhibit), Mural Artist (Robot Park Exhibit), Suit/Cabot Laboratory, and Visitor Research and Evaluation. Some internships are paid and others aren’t, but you’ll have to check out the Museum of Science Internships page to get all of the details on the internships. To apply for any of the positions, you should send “a cover letter describing academic and career goals, personal interests, and why you would like to intern at the Museum of Science” along with a “resume that includes contact information for three references” to interncoordinator@mos.org.
