2016 TEEN SCIENCE SCHOLARS
Denver Museum of Nature and Science
2001 Colorado Blvd.
Denver 80205
The Teen Science Scholars (TSS) internship provides high school students opportunities to work in the Archives, Anthropology, Earth Sciences, Health Sciences, Museum Conservation, Space Sciences, and Zoology departments at the Museum. Selected students will be involved with various aspects of their mentors’ research and/or collections programs. Each student will present an overview of their TSS work at an annual symposium held at the Museum at the end of the summer. This program introduces students interested in science careers to various aspects of museum research and/or collections work and helps strengthen investigative and communication skills. The internship program is open to students who will be entering their Junior or Senior years in the fall of 2016.
This program has provided over 140 high school students the opportunity to be mentored by Museum scientists and collections staff since its beginning in 2006. Students who have completed this program have gone on to study science at such universities as MIT, Duke, and University of Denver. The program also provides a networking system for TSS alumni that helps support students after the end of their internship.
