FAB LAB INTERNSHIPS

Beginning in 2017, Haystack established a paid internship program for area high school students. Fab Lab interns are selected from a pool of individuals who have taken part in educational programs with Haystack as middle school students, and are now looking to deepen their knowledge and understanding of design and technology. Interns assist in running the Fab Lab on the Haystack campus and help session participants. In addition, interns develop independent projects of their own and acquire leadership skills that are transferable to other parts of their lives. Job training and exposure to participants and faculty from across the US and abroad make for a rich and impactful experience.

Haystack has opened a twenty-first century door for our Island community. The possibilities for inspiration, learning and design are infinite. Growth of the fab lab program and training expands the opportunities for our children exponentially.
