summer internships at ASU in nanoscience/nanotech (fwd)



ATTENTION high school PHYSICS and CHEMISTRY teachers:

Earn $3360 this summer! Apply for a teacher internship at ASU in
Nanoscience and Nanotechnology.

Two internships are available. Each teacher will work for 7 weeks at 24
hours/week (ex. 3 days at 8 hrs/day or 4 days at 6hrs/day) and will be paid
at $20.00/hour. ( Each teacher's stipend will be $3360.00). The seven week
period can be in June/July and the starting date is flexible, depending on
teacher schedules. Ideally, both interns would work together.

Apply by June 3 to Professor B. Ramakrishna
<BRamakrishna@asu.edu>, 480-965-6560.

On May 20, Professor Ramakrishna wrote:
"I and Laura Martin, Director of Arizona Science Center (ASC), have a new
3-year NSF grant that provides interesting opportunities for high school
teachers to be involved in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology internships.

The two teachers will work with ASU student interns and faculty, and also
with the ASC's Educational Outreach coordinator, to translate research
results and presentations developed by student interns into classroom
practice (or if suitable, for after-school programs).

Two presentations will be developed per year. The initial suggested ideas
for presentations are 'Introduction to Nanotechnology', 'Size & Scale',
'Nanotools of discovery'.

The teachers will have opportunities to test their ideas with school groups
as well as camp groups that are brought in by ASC. The teachers will
participate in evaluation of the project by ASC."


Professor Ramakrishna adds that taking PHS 564: LIGHT AND ELECTRON OPTICS
would be an (optional) enhancement to the internship.
