The Bio/Diversity Project offers two separate internship programs hosted through the Women in Science and Engineering Program. These programs are open to University of Arizona undergraduate students in any major.
The Bio/Diversity Project provides students with a hands-on science outreach experience in local Title 1 K-12 classrooms. During the 2024-2025 academic year, we are partnering with local middle schools to facilitate outreach activities with 6th-8th grade students. Bio/Diversity Project interns have the opportunity to work alongside educators in delivering place-based and identity-based environmental science curricula to groups of underrepresented students. In addition, students will participate in a weekly 2-hour professional development seminar focused on developing science communication skills and broadening their understanding of environmental science, gender, and racial equity issues. This internship is a 1-semester commitment and requires 8 hours of work per week. It is an unpaid opportunity, but students are able to enroll in 3 units of academic credit through their home department.
