Fall Research Mixer!
Calling all researchers and future researchers! The Undergraduate Research Committee hosts a research mixer each semester to help students and faculty meet to hear about the exciting research conducted within the City Tech community and to plan for future partnerships. Plus, there will be snacks and raffle prizes!
This semester, the mixer is on Wednesday, 12/2, from 3:00-5:00pm in Namm 119. Here is the schedule:
Opening Gateways Research Assistants program – deadline November 30, 2015!
Have you ever wanted more, FREE, high quality resources to help you learn outside of
class? There’s a new initiative on campus – Opening Gateways – to create such materials, called open educational resources (OERs), and we would like you to be part of our team. Guided by research about just how it is that students learn mathematics, we are developing OERs such as supplementary videos, real-world applications, and instant feedback enabling WeBWorK assignments for gateway mathematics courses. The materials we create will be freely available to everyone to help support students both at City Tech and all over the world.
So– come be part of the education revolution: open digital access to the highest quality learning materials for everyone! As part of our development team you will gain valuable experience integrating creative thinking and teamwork with applying technical skills to solve real-world problems. If you enjoy putting in work where it matters, paying careful attention to the details, and are comfortable working independently and as part of a team, you are what we’re looking for.
The application deadline is Monday, November 30, 2016. The commitment is February 1 – March 15, 2016, 7 hours/week, $15/hour.
More details and application instructions can found in the Call for Research Assistants.
