"This wasn’t like a normal internship where the students do the jobs that no one else wants to. When we went down to NASA-Goddard at the end of the summer to give presentations, I realized that I was researching new territory, and the scientists were genuinely interested in what we worked on.

I learned so much. Obviously, I learned a lot of the topic I was researching, but I also learned about the process of how to apply the things you learn at school to the real world." –Heather Bain
