Sunday, March 1st Spring program applicant update:
Thank you to all students who applied to our Spring 2026 STEM Zoom Immersion Programs. From Sunday, March 1st to Tuesday, March 3rd we will be working to send out acceptance emails to as many students as possible. Afterward, we may take additional students off the waiting list. We know several high schools were only able to share the program in the final days of the recruitment period, and we have decided to extend an application grace period until the evening of Wednesday, March 4th so all students have a fair chance to apply. Application decisions are largely based on the number of spaces available with high school juniors and seniors given higher priority because this could be their last chance to enroll in the program. We highly encourage students who do not hear back from us to reapply for the program in the future and we will run additional sessions of the 9 Saturday afternoon programs in Summer 2026 (June 6th to August 8th, 2026). The dates and details of the future Summer programs will be updated on our website by Friday, March 20th.
Helping High School Students Gain Access to Virtual Science Immersion Experiences
Impact Internships believes in the unlimited potential of education combined with purposeful career and life planning to change a young person’s life for the better. Through immersive STEM enrichment programs, our non-profit aims to introduce high school students to opportunities in science at a critical moment in their lives when it can make the greatest impact. Through hearing from real-world practitioners, engaging in interactive workshops and working alongside like-minded peers we will create a space of growth and support that builds upon but also extends beyond the traditional high school classroom. We seek to give our student program graduates greater confidence about their future college, career, and personal pathways as they embark on a period of great change in their lives. This Spring, from March 7th to May 2nd, we are exploring health science, technology and engineering through 3 separate virtual immersion programs.
Session A: 12pm to 3pm PST OR Session B: 3pm to 6pm PST
Have you ever wondered what it takes to become a doctor, nurse, or different healthcare professional? During HSIP, we explore science education, medical research and healthcare opportunities in the health sciences field. We’ll hear from health professional speakers such as a research professor, dentist and medical student. During a group research project we’ll collaborate on topics such as cancer research and neuroscience. We’ll also engage in clinical case studies, exploring topics such as asthma and diabetes. Throughout HSIP we’ll take part in career pathway workshops like the medical school road map. Throughout the program, you’ll learn how to prepare for a future career in the health sciences. Since 2019, over 1,500 high school students have taken part in the first 43 HSIP sessions. This Spring, HSIP will be an interactive way for high school students to learn more about their future opportunities in the world of science research and healthcare!
Session Time: 1pm to 4pm PST
During C-SIP, students will learn about their opportunities in computer science as it relates to education, a career and making a positive impact on our changing world. Over our 9 Saturdays, we’ll hear presentations from professionals engaged in career fields such as web design, software development and user design. In our group project, we’ll explore creative coding using p5.js, a JavaScript library that makes coding accessible through the OpenProcessing platform. Throughout C-SIP, we will explore future college and career pathways through workshops about resume building, college admissions and exploring soft skills. Since 2023, over 250 students have taken part in C-SIP during the first 15 virtual sessions of the program. This Spring, C-SIP will be a fun way for students to learn more about their future in tech and computer science!
Session Time: 2pm to 5pm PST
Utilizing a wide array of subjects and tools, Engineers have built a transformative array of products and systems. In E-IP we will learn about our future opportunities in the Engineering field as it relates to an education, a career and developing innovative products for our surrounding world. Students hear presentations from engineering professionals as we explore sectors such as bioengineering, chemical engineering or civil engineering. Students explore how different subjects such as mathematics, physics or computer science converge in Engineering. Through program workshops we will explore the education, technical training and skillsets that Engineers utilize through their careers. Students will also experience the field firsthand by working on a small group project related to engineering design. Since 2024, over 200 students have taken part in EIP during the first 10 virtual sessions of the program. This Spring, E-IP will be an engaging way for high school students to learn more about their future in STEM and Engineering!
