Question 1

I applied online. I interviewed at NASA (Kennedy Space Center, FL) in Jul 2021
Interview
The interview was much less stressful than I anticipated. They asked me some questions about my job experience and school clubs/projects. I would say come prepared to talk about your background, resume, and any experience that is relevant to the internship. I would then make sure to prepare to ask them quite a few questions about the role. Good luck!

Just two behavioral interviews one with an individual member and then a group interview where multiple team members are asking you questions. They are pretty standard behaviorals and they may throw in a couple of brain teasers.
