Each year ISEC sponsors summer interns to conduct research and interview a space releated professional. These two requirements are to encourage college students to continue in science and engineering as well as actually give them experience conducting research into an innovative arena. The interns work from home with a mentor from ISEC on a schedule for a research paper to be completed by the end of the summer.
There is a small grant and a letter of recommendation at the conclusion of the summer for each student. In addition, they could be presenting their preliminary research at the next International Space Elevator Conference.
The four interns for 2020 are Craig Orrock, Elias Rubin, Lynessa Schaeffer and Amelia Stanton , mentored by Peter Swan, Dennis Wright and Sandee Schaeffer.
