Students gain real-world scientific research experience and professional development directly alongside Museum scientists in a supportive environment.
The Denver Museum of Nature & Science Teen Science Scholars (Zoology and Data Science) program offers high school students a hands-on internship experience working alongside Museum scientists. Participants gain practical skills in zoology research, including the care and preservation of zoological collections and their associated data. The curriculum emphasizes digital data literacy, teaching scholars how to locate and navigate open data repositories, understand interdisciplinary communication, and effectively wrangle data. The program aims to make students comfortable experimenting with technology and the world of open data. Scholars also engage in professional development activities such as public speaking, college planning, and workforce skill enhancement. The program culminates in a Showcase event where students present their work and experiences.
A typical day involves hands-on scientific work alongside Museum scientists, focusing on zoology research, data collection, and analysis, with opportunities for professional development activities.
This program is ideal for high school sophomores and juniors (ages 14-17) from underserved and/or underrepresented communities or schools who are interested in science as a possible career and want hands-on research experience.
