In Winter 2024 we are launching an exciting internship opportunity as part of an initiative to develop a makerspace resource for the new CEGEP Science program and to support students wishing to build projects using the Arduino platform. As an intern, you could play a pivotal role in integrating open-source microelectronics projects into co-curricular activities and contributing to curriculum development.
What Will You Do?
• Participate in the creation of educational resources for Arduino-based projects.
• Work on robotics and sensor applications while learning to use these tools effectively.
• Integrate different discplines into prototypes for a new Integrative Project course.
• Engage in hands-on learning and apply your skills in real-world projects.
Who Can Apply?
• Students with an interest in STEM fields, including those with no or minimal experience in Arduino.
• Individuals who are enthusiastic about learning, experimentation, and collaborative work.
• Students eager to contribute to the development of innovative educational resources.
What Do We Offer?
• Research and CV-building experience.
• An interactive and supportive learning environment.
• Opportunities to learn and experiment with emerging technologies.
• A chance to work with a diverse group of students and educators.
• Experience in developing comprehensive curricula and training resources.
Join us in this pioneering endeavor to transform STEM education! Your participation will not only enhance your own skills but also contribute significantly to the learning experiences of others.
Please fill out the application form here [https://forms.gle/Hr7LRdaZfbo3GgLV7] to express your interest and to provide us with some information about your background and aspirations.
Note: While open to all, the number of available internships is limited. Priority for participation will be given to students enrolled in the SPACE certificate in final decisions based on our analysis of the applications received. Students who complete the requirements of participation will receive 6-9 credits towards the certificate. They may also receive additional credit for a capstone project or in the acquisition of the foundational knowledge component of the certificate on a case-by-case basis.
A statement of interest of no more than 250 words explaining why you wish to participate in this internship will be required in the application form. Further inquiries may be included with the application or sent directly to Joel Trudeau via MIO on Omnivox.
