The NASA International Internship Program (NASA I²) is a structured agency-wide program that provides a collaborative environment in which non-U.S. interns (university undergraduate level students) or fellows (university graduate level students) are able to work alongside international peers. Following the signing of an agreement between NIHERST and NASA in 2012, (which was subsequently renewed in 2015), the NASA I² program was developed to facilitate a structured educational exchange among students from Trinidad and Tobago, U.S. interns and visiting university students from abroad, under the mentorship of a member of NASA’s science and engineering workforce. The first cycle of this partnership was implemented in 2014, with two nationals being sent off to the NASA Ames Research Centre for the four-month fall internship, after a stringent local screening process. The program has had continued success in 2015, both in the sixteen-week spring internship and the ten-week summer internship whereby the past interns returned alongside two newly selected ones, to continue their research at NASA’s request. In 2016, one national was afforded the opportunity to attend the summer internship, and in 2017, two nationals were also selected to represent at the summer internship.

The program is intensive with an emphasis on group work, teamwork, research and creativity. The content balances science and technology with issues of management, finance, and social and human issues faced by aerospace professionals. Students take part in seminars, informal discussions, evening lecture, supervised research, group projects and visits to NASA centres and laboratories.
