About This Opportunity
The CEREAL Lab’s Computer Science High School Internship Program runs on campus in Raleigh. For summer 2026 the official page lists June 15 through July 10, describes the opportunity as in-person and paid, and states that applications will open around April 2026 with an email alert list at go.ncsu.edu/internship-alert. Interns participate in a computing boot camp, help middle school science teachers integrate computing, build computing-infused curriculum (games, simulations, tutorials), collaborate with teachers on classroom activities, assist with K-12 summer camp learning activities, and may earn school internship credit per program materials. From 2025 through 2027, interns selected for the NSF TRACES project are eligible for a $1,500 stipend per the same page. Not all participants may be on that funded track, so confirm compensation when you apply.
