The DOE recently announced a partnership with Youngstown State University and its own Oak Ridge National Laboratory to generate new workers in the field of battery manufacturing.  **ROBOTICS INTERNSHIPS:** The Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy’s Robotics Summer Internship Program is now [accepting](https://www.zintellect.com/Opportunity/Details/EERE-Robotics-2021) applications from high school seniors, undergrads, and post-grads. Those accepted can join up for a 10-week program in the summer of 2021 in DOE’s national laboratories, where scientists and researchers will teach them all about robotics and machine learning.  **SCIENCE BOWL:** Come May 8, the National Science Bowl ®’s finals will begin. This year, the [competition](https://www.energy.gov/science/articles/students-nationwide-compete-31st-department-energy-national-science-bowl.) is virtual, and will host thousands of middle and high school students from all around the U.S.  **RED PLANET RISING:** Ever wonder who made the Perseverance Rover’s upcoming Mission to Mars possible? Well, you can meet some of the DOE scientists behind it on a February 16 [panel](https://www.energy.gov/science-innovation/stem-rising). Then two days later, on February 18, the Rover will head out on its adventure to the Red Planet.  ## **Health & Wellness** **MENTAL HEALTH SCHOLARSHIP:** In pursuit of a $5,000 [scholarship](https://orise.orau.gov/resources/stem/scholarships.html), students can commit to a specific healthy habit for 21 days, then present a podcast or infographic covering the experience. The deadline is March 31. **MENTALLY HEALTHY TEACHERS:** Similar to the scholarship above, K-12 teachers can [embrace](https://orise.orau.gov/resources/k12/competitions-for-educators.html) an anti-stress technique for 21 days, capturing the process on video or in a podcast. Three teachers will be awarded as the winners, and will each get a Fitbit Sense plus a TheraBox subscription. ## **Women & Girls** **C3E AWARDS:** The annual U.S. Clean Energy Education and Empowerment (C3E) Awards are now [accepting](https://www.c3eawards.org/nominate) nominations. Geared toward amplifying recipients by way of honoring their mid-career milestones, C3E grants each winner $8,000, along with national recognition.  **THE INTERNATIONAL DAY OF WOMEN & GIRLS IN SCIENCE** is coming up on February 11. Through C3E International and other programs, DOE [works with](http://www.energy.gov/women) international partners on enhancing women’s presence in and impact on clean energy. **THE RENATE W. CHASMAN AWARD FOR WOMEN:** This award is also accepting [applications](https://www.bnl.gov/newsroom/news.php?a=217631); it exists to inspire women in pursuit of careers in STEM. Two awards of $2,500 each are being offered. ## Related Posts [![Training the NextGen: STEM and Innovation are Key](https://www.allyenergy.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/STEM-p2sc9e7ppj06vdcqvbxya1wswtd3v0zm0sst6lcyvc.jpeg) Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Training the NextGen: STEM and Innovation are Key ![](https://www.allyenergy.com/hubfs/Blog%20Authors/ally_one.jpeg) ALLY](https://www.allyenergy.com/blog/training-the-next-generation-through-stem) [![Landmark children's book features thirty-four women making history leading the energy transition](https://www.allyenergy.com/hubfs/Energy-Superheroes_1200x627.jpg) Career Search, Uncategorized Landmark children's book features thirty-four women making history leading the energy transition ![](https://www.allyenergy.com/hubfs/Erin-Twamley-Profile-picture.jpg) Erin Twamley](https://www.allyenergy.com/blog/everyday-superheroes-women-in-energy-careers-features-thirty-four-women-making-history-leading-the-energy-transition) [![The Children's Book for Energy Literacy](https://www.allyenergy.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/1041026_Erin-Twamley-Podcast-Cover_v1_041921-p64359edwmyxy6icddb79fcd3eepv4xv97xtz2tzt4.jpeg) The Voices Of Energy The Children's Book for Energy Literacy ![](https://www.allyenergy.com/hubfs/Blog%20Authors/ally_one.jpeg) ALLY](https://www.allyenergy.com/blog/the-childrens-book-for-energy-literacy) ### Subscribe Here!
