National Youth Laboratory (NYL) Internship

In partnership with Stemtac Foundation, SoundBio Lab invites youth ages 16-20 to participate in an 8-week hybrid virtual/in-person summer internship experience with hands-on learning and research in biotechnology, engineering, and design.

In this innovative program, students will:

• Explore DIY and low-cost technology design

• Gain hands-on experience with microbiology, biochemistry, electronics, coding, and additive manufacturing

• Practice team and project management skills

• Receive guidance and mentorship from professionals across multiple STEM fields

Our first orientation session will be held virtually on June 30 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. All subsequent program sessions will be held on Mondays and Wednesdays from 2 - 4 p.m., ending August 20th, 2025.
