Benefits of Working at NASA

Figure 1: Students gave varied answers when asked to provide the greatest benefits of a NASA internship

As was expected, a multitude of varied responses were received regarding the greatest benefit of working at NASA. It is apparent that each student expects a different experience when working at NASA and each student hopes to achieve different accomplishments as well. The multifariousness of the question proposed is embodied in the answers given when prompted for an “Other” response. For example, one student explained that the greatest benefit of working at NASA for them would be “working with new and advanced technology. In addition, it was seen that more than one benefit is expected from a NASA internship since the majority of students picked multiple answers to this question.
