100 Don’t-Miss NASA Internship Opportunities to Launch Your Career

Remember: Applications for spring 2025 are due by August 23, 2024, at 11:59 p.m. ET.

Podcast making, space horticulture, or planetary protection—whatever your interest, there is a NASA internship for you this spring.

Want to share your passion for NASA with the world? Our virtual or in-person audio storytelling internship out of NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center is the perfect fit for you! Got a green-thumb and want to put it to the test? Design methods to grow vegetables in low-gravity with an in-person internship at NASA’s Glenn Research Center. A team at NASA’s Ames Research Center also needs help cleaning NASA-style; we’re seeking an intern to design methods to ensure spacecraft don’t get contaminated with bacteria. Up to the task? Apply to these internships and more at stemgateway.nasa.gov.

With less than a week left to apply for our spring 2025 NASA internships, we’ve assembled this list of 100 don’t-miss opportunities to help launch your career —all of which you can apply to right now.
