For over two decades, BrainPOP has been trusted by educators and parents worldwide as a source of engaging and impactful learning experiences for all kids. With a presence in over two-thirds of U.S. districts through school and district subscriptions and an estimated annual reach of 25 million students, BrainPOP is empowering kids to take agency over their learning and excel in and out of the classroom.
The company was acquired in 2022 by KIRKBI, the family-owned holding and investment company of the LEGO brand, marking a significant milestone as their first acquisition in the digital learning realm. We are thrilled to continue making learning fun and accessible with the strategic guidance and support of KIRKBI.
BrainPOP’s Summer 2026 Internship Program provides an opportunity for college students to learn about the EdTech space from an industry leader and brand beloved by teachers and students. BrainPOP’s intern will participate in business relevant projects, collaborate with teams and leaders in the organization, and take part in our unique culture.
We are a hybrid workplace, and the Intern will work in the BrainPOP NYC office on Wednesdays during the course of the internship. Each Wednesday we’ll provide lunch, opportunities to interact onsite with teams, and host special programming and events throughout the experience.
Applications are open until March 31, 2026.
Please note: BrainPOP does not offer relocation, housing or travel assistance.
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.
