Meet Our Students: Minority University Research

Two high school students have a cosmic story to share about what they did during their summer internship at JPL.

JPL summer intern David Hayden won a major prize in a Microsoft-sponsored competition for a device that helps low-vision students keep up with peers in classroom note-taking. Hayden is legally blind.

After her freshman year in college, Sherrisse Bryant began doing laboratory research during the summer. After that experience, she didn't want to stop!

Heriberto Reynoso's summer internship is taking him one step closer to the moon. He is building software that will help engineers on a proposed mission called MoonRise.

Thirty-three students, from Puerto Rico, Hawaii and many U.S. states in between, kicked off their summer internships with JPL's Minority Education Office.

Watch a video archive of our panel discussion about careers in engineering. NASA/JPL engineers and a student intern answered questions posed by high school students.

A former JPL intern presented her research about friending, sharing and tweeting for NASA Space Place at a science conference.

Three high school students share their experiences as interns at JPL.

Returning for his fourth summer at JPL, Victor Mejia's focus this year: Writing software for JPL scientists.

College student Gisselle Cunningham's summer stint on a JPL robotics project was the perfect fit.

More than 300 students have swelled JPL's ranks this summer, hailing from high schools, community colleges, four-year universities and graduate schools across the country.

Not many teenagers can say they've worked on an instrument that will fly in space. This accomplishment is even more remarkable because he wants to be a scientist even though he can't see.
