Encompassing a range of topics our online computer science research internships provide students with the unique opportunity to work jointly with a world-leading computer scientist. On your internship you will advance the boundaries of knowledge in computer science, and coauthor an original research paper in collaboration with other student colleagues and under the guidance of your expert mentor.
​
-
Deepen your understanding of computer science while acquiring practical research skills and hands-on experience into what it is like to undertake advanced study in the field. Become a published author when you submit your completed research paper to our open-access academic journal, World Scholars Review, or another scholarly publication.

COMUTER SCIENCE
INTERNSHIPS
World Scholars Academy computer science internships for ages 15-18 analyze the latest advances in computer science including; drone technology, artificial intelligence, frontiers in military weaponry, exotic materials, and nuclear power. On the internship you will work with fellow World Scholars to research and coauthor a topflight academic paper on your topic with the close support of your mentor, a world-leading expert in the field.
During your internship you will learn specialist research techniques, survey the extant literature of the discipline, and conduct original research on your topic. You will contribute your own ideas to the project's successful completion, and will build technical skills and practical know-how to excel as a computer scientist. Your final paper will be reviewed by your mentor and submitted to either our open-access academic journal, World Scholars Review, or another scholarly publication.
Internships take place on either Saturday or Sunday over four weeks, allowing you to participate in an internship during your normal school year or simultaneously with a World Scholars Academy academic summer course. Interns should expect to spend several additional hours outside of their live contact time each week to complete their research project. World Scholars Academy internships include:
​​
-
Maximum class size six (6) students
-
Individualized feedback and academic guidance
-
Certificate of Completion
-
Co-authored research paper submitted for publication
-
Entry into the WSR Best Review Award competition

Internship Details
Imagine a world where robots have the ability to see, comprehend, and interact with their surroundings just like humans do. This is the exciting goal of Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models, which are at the forefront of robotics and artificial intelligence! The ultimate objective in robotics is to create machines that can operate autonomously in the world, and VLA models bring us one step closer to achieving this. By combining cutting-edge technologies in computer vision and natural language processing, VLA models empower robots to perceive the world and carry out tasks with remarkable human-like precision. With groundbreaking advancements like Google DeepMind's RT-2, and significant investments in the field from a number of big technology companies, these models are set to revolutionize the field of robotics.
​
During this month-long Internship you will learn about pioneering work that is being done in robotic perception with VLA models. Collaborating with your fellow interns you conduct original research on the strategies being pursued to create autonomous robots and the current challenges in the field. With your mentor's guidance you will co-author an academic research paper on this topic for publication. No previous knowledge of robotics or computer science is required to participate.
