During the 2 and 1/2-month voyage, you will indulge in a mix of the four categories, writing, photography, videography, and graphics/animation, to explore science journalism, based on exciting scientific stories emanating from the School. Who knows – your content may end up getting featured on the School's digital platforms, as well as in our flagship magazine - The Particle!

The program will enroll a maximum of five interns. Some work, especially photography and videography, will require using a DSLR camera, which shall be provided to the intern. The internship comprises four paid projects. Upon the completion of all the projects, each intern will receive a certificate, along with an honorarium of PKR 15,000.
