How it Works

  • Application & Evaluation: The application process is managed through the AIVIA™ Evaluator. For each internship session, specific projects are assigned to applicants as part of the evaluation process.

  • Project Selection: Team leads can choose a research paper to work on that aligns with one of our project categories. This ensures that every project is grounded in real-world, peer-reviewed methodologies.

  • Phased Project Process: Each Virtual-Internship runs for 3 weeks, split into the Replicate, Extend, and Present phases, providing clear milestones and measurable outcomes. This structured approach not only validates your technical skills but also offers a comprehensive learning experience and tangible results to showcase.

  • Paid Lead Position: As a lead, you’ll receive weekly compensation (with potential bonuses for exceptional contributions). Your role includes organizing at least one team meeting per phase, overseeing deliverable progress, and coordinating team efforts.

  • Collaborative Experience: Once onboard, you’ll participate in free pre-internship training and receive continuous mentoring from our Mentor Chains®. The structured three-phase process offers clear milestones and measurable outcomes that drive your growth and success.

New Features in 2025: Details

Experience a reimagined internship model designed to prepare you for industry challenges while rewarding leadership and initiative.

  • Paid Lead Positions: Qualified leads receive direct compensation from STEM-Away plus the opportunity to earn additional rewards from participating companies. Note: Leads are classified as independent contractors.

  • Merit-Based Automated Acceptance: Once you pass an AIVIA Evaluation on a project tied to an upcoming internship opportunity, your project dashboard will automatically activate the “Apply” button -confirming your eligibility to join. Please note that any request to bypass the standard application process will not be entertained. Additionally, random second-level prescreening may be conducted for further validation.

  • Two-Phase Acceptance Process: We first confirm team leads before opening applications to participants, ensuring every team is built on a strong foundation.

  • Structured Three-Phase Framework: Each project is based on a research paper and follows a clear progression—Replicate, Extend, and Present—providing measurable milestones and tangible outcomes.

  • Important Notice: STEM-Away Virtual-Internships provide valuable experience and a certificate of completion. For participants in paid lead roles, STEM-Away will perform work verification once per lead as part of the contractual process—enhancing the credibility of your resume. Please note that this one-time verification service is exclusive to designated leads; external work verification requests for non-leads will NOT be honored.

This innovative model not only equips you with the skills needed to tackle real-world challenges but also paves the way for a collaborative, rewarding internship experience.
