The Science Exchange is the only non-profit organization that creates affordable, customized, field-based sea turtle research internship packages for undergraduate and graduate science students from around the world. We train the next generation of students to become scientifically literate, international team players through our two-month STEM research internships in Latin America and the Caribbean. After training, our interns travel to Mexico, the Caribbean, or Central America, earning college credit at San Diego State University or their institution. They can work at a sea turtle research center on the beach or in a university lab, collect field data for research papers, and immerse themselves in the local culture and language. The course components include orientation, language classes, field training, data collection, data analysis, final report preparation, presentations, and career guidance. We offer benefits not typically found in other schools' internship programs. These are opportunities to carry out their own research project, intense cultural immersion by living with the locals, partial scholarships, and all-inclusive packages that fit individual schedules.
