Exhibit Tech Intern (Summer 2026)
About The Position
We seek an Exhibit Tech Intern who can help our hardware Workshop group assemble and support multitouch tables, touchless devices, and custom exhibit installations. This is a 60 to 90-day, paid internship, starting on or around June 1, 2026, and extending to around August 15. We are looking for someone who is detail-oriented and can help us build the highest-quality integrated computer systems, such as our multitouch tables.
