Research and Design Intern

Join BrainPOP as a Research and Design Intern for Summer 2026, where you will gain hands-on experience in the EdTech space while collaborating with industry professionals in a hybrid work environment. BrainPOP's Research and Design (RAD) team works to understand what students and teachers need and then brings those insights to life through thoughtful, engaging design. We combine user research — like interviews, testing, and observation — with visual and interaction design to shape the appearance, flow, and experience of BrainPOP's products. Our work helps ensure that every experience a user has with BrainPOP is easy to navigate, effective, and purposeful. In this internship, you'll get hands-on experience with the research and design process at an education technology company. You'll learn how to evaluate our products for usability, identify where users may be running into challenges, and analyze real user behavior through testing. You'll collaborate closely with product designers, our lead user researcher, and members of the broader Product team to help shape experiences that work better for the people who use them.
