ZeumMasters: A Teen Internship Program

The ZeumMaster Program is an internship designed specifically for high school students. It combines job experience with a mentoring environment, providing useful tools often unseen among students at this age.

ZeumMasters serve as visitor guides who facilitate the Zeum experience by assisting in activities such as creating clay animation movies, music videos, and digital art. The ZeumMaster Program teaches leadership and communication skills while giving real-world job experience. The combination of work in art, media, and technology, as well as visitor services, furnishes a valuable skill-set that creates a strong foundation for future job application.
