The Massachusetts Life Sciences Center will offer after-school lab training and summer internships to high-school students in Grades 10-12.

The after-school Lab Training Program is for underrepresented minority or economically disadvantaged students, to prepare them for summer internships.  It will be administered by the BioBuilder Educational Foundation over 8 weeks this spring in two locations:  MIT’s Department of Biological Engineering and Worcester Technical High School.

The Summer Internship Program connects students with employers throughout the state and subsidizes intern stipends (up to $12 per hour, for a total of up to $2,880 for six weeks) so that life sciences companies and academic researchers can hire interns. Employers provide a mentor and a hands-on learning experience. Employers sign up here and students sign up here.
