“The ETD’s internships are so unique. I have been able to use my interest in gaming and game design to work on AR/VR software that is used to work not only on missions, but even for environmental things like tracking the Canadian wildfire smoke.”

“Goddard’s campus environment has been an amazing place to grow. I’m grateful for the opportunity to learn from a group of immensely talented people. The community I have built here has been worth every moment.”

“I’ve always admired NASA, so it’s kind of like a fever dream. You don’t usually associate communications with NASA. So to get the internship with my background in media production and communications was so exciting. There’s a chance for me to work in this field I’ve always admired, after all.”
