// Intern Posters
Each Summer, the NCCS hosts talented interns with backgrounds in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Machine Learning, Climate Modeling, Software Development, IT Security, and/or Communications. NCCS interns are tasked with challenges that solve computational problems while being mentored by key NCCS staff.
Summer interns prepare and present a poster about their project at an intern poster session. Some NCCS interns have received awards for their work.
