Ever wonder what it's actually like to be a NASA intern?
Meet Lauren Coffman! She's taking you behind the scenes for a real day in the life on a Human Factors Team at Johnson Space Center. From unexpected wildlife encounters to spacesuit inspo - and maybe even a dodgeball game with astronauts - you never know what's coming next.
Thinking "that could be me"? It can! Fall internship applications are open until May 22 on intern.nasa.gov
Happy #NationalInternDay! Celebrate by going behind the scenes with Jocelyn Mateo, an intern for the Radioisotope Power Systems (RPS) program at NASA Glenn.
Follow along as she explains her data analysis and collection work and visits Glenn’s Neil Armstrong Test Facility in Sandusky, Ohio. Check out our world-class space simulation facilities and dive further into Jocelyn’s @NASAInternships journey.

I’m Jocelyn — a homeschool mom of 3 with more student loan debt than a NASA intern…
…and a heart that beats for moms who want to be present, not just providing.
I grew up watching my single mom work two jobs.
She was always exhausted.
We were always behind.
And little me always wondered:
“Why does work always have to take mom away?“
Fast-forward to adulthood:
Career I enjoy.
Kids I adore.
Bills that multiply like laundry.
And the same feeling creeping in…
Work stealing time from my kids the way it stole time from me.
So I changed the game.
Now I help moms create abundant online income — without trading in bedtime stories, field trip days, or the sacred moments watching my kids get along amidst a pile of toys.
Because there will always be more time to make money… until there isn’t.
And missing your kids’ childhood because of a job?
Yeah, that’s not abundance.
But earning online is.
And if I can build income from my homeschool table with a toddler covered in mascara (pic to come)…
You can too.

HOW MANY?
Guess how many times I applied to be a NASA Intern.
It took me 3 years and over 150 applications before I got my first NASA internship. Never give up.
90 cool points if you know this audio!

A day in the life of a NASA intern… 💫🚀
Tag along with Vivian Renkey for a peek at what it’s like being a @NASA Goddard intern. Applications for NASA’s summer internships close this Friday, Feb. 28th.
Vivian is working as Goddard’s social media intern in Greenbelt, Md. She combines photography, videography, graphic design, and science writing to make content for Goddard’s social media accounts (like this!).

Plot twist: you don’t need to be a rocket scientist to intern at NASA. 🚀
Our @nasainternships prove you don’t have to be a rocket scientist to make an impact. Whatever your passion, there’s a role for you here.
Exploring space isn’t a one‑major job, it takes project managers, event planners, roboticists, social media pros, and more. Because building the future of space takes every skill set. 🚀
So.....where could your passion take you at @NASA?
Stop networking, okay? Here's how I kissed networking goodbye.
I’ve decided to stop networking. It began with a conversation with someone from NASA, not about contracts, but about how we could genuinely assist their programs.
I asked them how I could help them - at first they just brushed me off.
But, after a lot of back and forth, I learned that they had too many interns and not enough work, so Geisel Software welcomed a NASA intern from a minority-serving institution.
I was a bit surprised that they didn’t immediately say “Yes, and here’s how,” when I asked if there was a way I could help them the first time.
But the truth is, I don’t think many people ask “How can I help?” and mean it. They usually want something in return.
But for me, it's not about seeking immediate gains, but about fostering real connections.
The wild thing is, while I was saying goodbye to traditional networking, I was saying hello to traditional networking.
We’ve forgotten that the whole point of networking is to help each other.
What do you think?

Spend a day with me as a NASA intern in the Space Biosciences Division! 🪐
I should also probably clarify that I work with bones from mice that have been to the ISS, not just bones that have been to space lol

Happy National Intern Day from NASA’s Stennis Space Center! 🚀
Our interns each bring a unique story about what inspired them to join NASA’s mission.
Here are some of them.
From childhood visits to rocket centers, to powerful engine tests at Stennis, to watching historic milestones like NASA launching @NASAArtemis missions (with engines tested at Stennis), these moments sparked a passion for exploration that continues to grow here during their internship.
If you want to join NASA’s mission as we return to the Moon through Artemis and build a Moon Base as humanity’s first lunar outpost, spring @nasainternships applications are officially open!
The deadline to submit your application is September 14 at 11:59 p.m. ET.
You can explore FAQs and eligibility at intern.nasa.gov, and when you’re ready to apply, all opportunities are posted at stemgateway.nasa.gov.
Happy National Intern Day!
Happy #NationalInternDay!
We are intern-ally grateful for all our interns work to support the @NASA mission and for their part in launching humanity’s future!
