This summer, I had the incredible opportunity to complete an externship with STEMfinity, a leading organization dedicated to advancing STEM education. As someone deeply passionate about science, technology, engineering, and math, working with STEMfinity was the perfect fit. The owner and employees are all amazing people who care deeply about sharing STEM and educating others.

Throughout the experience, I gained valuable technical skills—from assembling computers and managing inventory in the warehouse, to providing customer support and assisting with product integration. But the externship offered more than just hands-on learning. I developed essential soft skills like time management, multitasking across multiple projects, and communicating ideas effectively to diverse audiences.

One of the most exciting parts of my role was helping to create storyboards aligned with educational standards, showing how STEMfinity products can be used in real classroom settings. It was rewarding to know that our work could directly support teachers in making STEM concepts more accessible, and engaging for their students.

Another highlight was learning about STEMfinity’s deep commitment to finding tailored solutions for educators and organizations. It reminded me that STEM isn’t just about solving technical problems—it’s about empowering people to shape their futures through education and innovation.
This experience reinforced my belief in the transformative power of STEM, and I’m excited to carry these lessons forward as I continue my journey in the field.

As I worked Hybrid I had multiple projects from updating inventory online, to working with customers who did not complete their carts, adding standards to products, creating storyboards, putting kits together, and creating presentations on a few products to teach others.

I accomplished so much this summer and found a company that I hope that I can continue to consult with even after my externship is over. Everyone was amazing and very supportive.

This experience gave me the opportunity to work on multitasking and working closer with employees, and the public. As I finished my administration degree last summer and looking forward to in the future being an administrator and a teacher these skills will help me when it comes to working with others.
