This discouragesyoung students from pursuing careers in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematicsupon entering college due to limited comprehension and exposure to these subjects [4]. Toaddress this critical need, XXX University in partnership with YYY College and the 6-12 schoolsystem designed/developed a comprehensive five week Summer Educational Internship program.This program targets rising college sophomores majoring in Science, Mathematics, andEngineering Technology to prepare them for teaching students in grades 6-12.

Fifteen (12 from Savannah StateUniversity and 3 from Savannah Technical College) students were selected to participate in theSummer Educational Internship Program (SEIP) and was offered a stipend of $1000. Severalinstructional models were explored for teaching mathematics and engineering at grades 6-12levels. Summer educational internship

Robots combine several of these engineering disciplines andhaving a concentration about them ensures that students apply and combine concepts that weretaught in other courses. Providing hands-on courses allows students to gain valuable experience.The certificates that the students will obtain through the completion of the concentration areindispensable.
