The e-mail needs to state why you are interested in becoming an intern, what you hope to gain from the experience, and how you meet the stated qualifications (indicate your school, grade and any relevant classes or activities that demonstrate your technical competency). For the Fall 2025 session, there are 10 seats available. Selection will be based on qualifications and how soon you apply.

After initial contact and cursory confirmation of qualifications, students will have an interview and aptitude test scheduled.

This is an opportunity for the prospective intern to visit the facility and get a first-hand look at facilities, what resources are available, and what they would be doing. Time slots for interviewing occur after school or on Saturdays (see dates below). (Other time slots can be scheduled based on availability)
After the interview, students will take a written mathematics aptitude exam. The goal of the test is to confirm that the student has an understanding of the mathematical concepts required for the program. Computer science students should also have some basic programming experience (the examination questions are programming language agnostic so you can use whichever programming language you are most comfortable with).
