Iridescent is launching the Iridescent Explainers Program – an internship program beginning this fall for high school students to support field trips and our Be An Inventor after school program for elementary and middle school students at our LA science studio.  We are looking for enthusiastic, motivated high school students interested in science and engineering to serve as mentors and educators for younger students, generate ideas, and help us build and test hands-on activities. High school applicants will go through a competitive application process including an in person interview.

Be an Inventor – After School Program (ages 8-12)

Elementary School students will explore science and engineering, learning concepts and building projects under the guidance of Iridescent staff and High School Explainer mentors. Inventors will complete their graduation requirement of a science exit project, and have the chance to show off what they’ve developed at an Engineering Faire before Winter Break. The program is free-of-charge and applicants are required to submit a short application upon entry to the program.
