ExcitED by the numbers

Summer 2023

60+ Internships Available!

ExcitED is excitED to announce the interview round for our summer internship spots starting after Keystones. William Tennent High School students have the opportunity to fill 60-plus (that’s right, 60) internship spots this summer.

This is DOUBLE the number of spots from our summer launch last year and could yield almost $60,000+ in internship stipends in 2023. We are also thrilled to announce that alumni of the program are coming back to work as TA’s and mentors at some of our host sites. Students and the ExcitED founders, Mr. Jayo, Mr. Beal, and Dr. Garbe are looking forward to another productive end of the school year and internship launch this summer.

"The most important skill that I learned from this internship was how to adapt. There was a focus change halfway through the experience, and I had to communicate with my peers to see how we would adapt to the change."
