Summer Internships

Cal Teach is offering paid internships in summer 2011 for first and second year UCSC or community college students majoring in math, science, or engineering. Although most successful applicants will be new to Cal Teach, we may accept one or two students who have completed CaT1. Summer participants must be U.S. citizens or legal permanent residents due to grant requirements.

• Get real experience with local K-12 educational summer programs such as the Summer Math Academy, COSMOS, and the Monterey Bay Aquarium.
• Find out if teaching math or science is a career potential for you.
• Participate in teacher professional development via workshops, weekly seminars and meetings on the UC Santa Cruz campus.
• Collaborate with other undergraduates who share similar interests.
• Receive $450 weekly for the 6-week program.*
  *Some stipends to help with transportation to and from an internship site (not relocation to Santa Cruz) and housing costs are available as well.

You must be available Monday through Friday full-time for six weeks during the program dates (June 13-July 29), as well as on three Saturdays for the workshops.
