Albuquerque Area

Founded in 2012, Albuquerque Aviation Academy is a free, public STEAM charter school located in our brand new facility in the Ventana Ranch community that prepares students in grades 6-12 for college and career in a unique, stimulating atmosphere where innovation and imagination soar

Experiment with design options and work through a conceptual structural design as you build a robot. Learn to program an Arduino-based remote-operated robot, and hold an end-of-week tournament to see whose robot is the most robust and durable. You'll also get to experiment with some more advanced robots from New Mexico Tech. Offered in Collaboration with NM Tech Mechanical Eng Robotic STEM Outreach Programs

Design, fabricate, and program a robotic arm attachment for an existing six-wheel rover platform. See if you can complete the mission of opening the external door of the Lunar base from its outside. To complete this mission, your team must design the attachment to operate the external release level and attach it to an existing rover platform. You'll then have to operate your design remotely through a first-person view headset. Offered in Collaboration with NM Tech Mechanical Eng Robotic STEM Outreach Programs

6-week summer paid internship. Students can apply for ANY of the listed locations (UNM, NMT or virtual). Internships provide professional learning experiences that offer meaningful, practical work assignments related to a field of study or career interest. Interns develop and improve skills in communication, technology, research, and teamwork.

The Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) Scholars Program offers stipend-paid internship opportunities for undergraduate and graduate-level university students pursuing STEM degrees, as well as upper-level high school students; select locations also offer internships to university students pursuing education-related degrees and K-12 professional educators. The selected interns gain valuable hands-on experiences working with full-time AFRL scientists and engineers on cutting-edge research and technology and are able to contribute to unique, research-based projects. Graduate interns are able to collaborate with AFRL on current research and incorporate the research into their graduate work.
