Suveena, Michael, and Michelle are all interning at NASA JPL

In this episode, we hear from Suveena, Michael and Michelle about their projects at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab, and how so many different types of engineering can collaborate at one of the country’s biggest space centers. From navigating their first corporate internship, to what they’re doing on the weekends, hear about how Michael, Suveena, and veteran JPL intern Michelle’s summers have been truly out of this world.
