High School Internships and Senior Experience Externships this summer

The work-based learning staff at Virginia Tech's Thinkabit Labs in the Washington, D.C. Area is welcoming students from nearby schools in Alexandria, Arlington, DC Public Schools, Fairfax, Falls Church, Loudoun, Manassas, Manassas Park, Prince George's County (MD), and Prince William County.  

We welcome students interested in any career path, but we are particularly oriented to support internships in Computer Science, Engineering (any), Environmental Science, Health and Medical Science, Natural Resources, Physical Computing, Public Policy / Government, and Social Sciences. 

While in-person and hybrid internships are encouraged, virtual internships may be limited due to the burdens of remote internships on staff. All internships should be 280 hours or more to meet the requirements of a high-quality work-based learning experience as defined by VDOE.  We strongly encourage in-person participation Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays.

Senior Experience externships (40 hours) in May and June are available for any high school senior.
