Summer Internship Opportunities

Summer’s just around the corner, and we’re gearing up for an exciting project! We’re looking for a few pairs of helping hands as we develop a new digital brand with fun new characters for a mobile preschool initiative.

Be part of this exciting process as a legal intern! The internship focus primarily on a project called Next Generation Preschool Math, a 4-year research study of the effectiveness of a media-rich math curriculum for preschoolers. In addition to collaborating with the legal department to copyright digital materials, we hope to explore innovative ways to get our brand out into the world. Experience with legal matters and copyrighting is very welcome.

Also for this project, we’re looking for short-term help preparing digital and non-digital materials for the research study. This internship is perfect for a student looking to get some quick hands-on experience in educational media production or education research before the start of the term, with full-time work for three weeks in August or September.
