Due to restricted access to SERC campus located at Edgewater, MD and/or limitations by groups to access our site and resources, the SERC Education Department is in the process of transitioning back from virtual to a limited onsite program. A hybrid onsite/virtual internship means working onsite some days of the week and remotely, delivering content for interactive virtual field trips (iVFTs). Currently our campus is open to small groups, of up to 20 students at one time, though this may change to larger groups by Spring 2022. Interns will be asked to deliver programs onsite, though they may not be onsite every day of the week.
