Educators agree that “learning by doing” is the best way to retain and master concepts. Memorization of material can only get you so far; when you add in an experiential element, you connect to the material in profound and longer-lasting ways.
This internship is a recipe for accelerated thinking, sensory development, and problem solving to make immediate decisions and consume course material. That’s a recipe for accelerated and deep-rooted learning.

When you’re doing a group project—perhaps with students from all over the world with shared interests—your social and interpersonal skills will grow tremendously. Cross-cultural sensitivities, for the win!
