The Science and Technology Council Internship Program offers an extraordinary opportunity for full-time continuing students to experience a real-world production environment, or to participate in advanced technology development efforts. The Council Internship Program is geared towards students who are planning to pursue a career utilizing or developing cutting-edge technologies for motion picture production. In particular, prospective interns should be interested in the development of CG technology for motion pictures, imaging science for motion pictures, robotics, sound, archiving, or the technical aspects of the creation of digital characters or visual effects.
Students considered for this program must be recommended by their faculty and be returning to school upon completion of their internship. Schools participating in the 2011 program included: Brown, Cornell, Georgia Institute of Technology, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, New York University, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Stanford University, University of California, Berkeley, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and others.
