Meet Gabrielle,

She is an Interdisciplinary Studies major and an Meyerhoff Scholar. Her future goal is to persue her Ph.D. and to continue her career in research. She would like to improve upon our understanding of the interaction that children have with technology and how to design their technology to accordingly better that interaction. On her off time she is also involved with the Computer Science Education club and the Orthodox Christian group.

Gabrielle's research explores the possibilities of three-dimensional (3D) printing technology and it's possible uses in the educational settings within the traditional curriculum. As part of a longitudinal study, her research team will be conducting weekly 3D modeling and printing workshops at a selected Baltimore school. By observing and recording the students’ reactions, collaborations, and frustrations while learning 3D modeling and printing in this setting, we will be able to observe benefits and repercussions of 3D modeling and printing in an educational setting.

University Entrepreneurs Congressional Intern Programhttp://ncet2.org/internship.html

The National Council of Entrepreneurial Tech Transfer (NCET2) announces a University and College Entrepreneurs Congressional Internship Program. The Program aims to educate and cultivate student leaders in policy issues that impact entrepreneurs and startups. The Program also seeks to build the student’s professional networks in the startup and policy communities in Washington D.C., in Silicon Valley, and at their home university and communities.

APPLICATION DETAILS CAN BE FOUND HERE
DEADLINE 1/30

University and college students will be placed in the offices of members of Congress – in the Senate and in the House of Representatives – with a high level of involvement in startups, tech transfer and/or entrepreneurship, at the pleasure of the office. Before beginning at Congress, interns admitted into the Program will also participate in a one-week Silicon Valley immersion to experience startup culture from entrepreneurs, angel investors, venture capitalists, startup companies and corporations in the valley.

Eligibility
Students must be currently enrolled in an undergraduate or graduate degree program and have at least one year remaining in their degree program after completion of the internship. This program is purposely designed to appeal to, and will benefit from, students in all fields, backgrounds, interests and disciplines, who have the ability to be outstanding leaders for entrepreneurship and startup culture in public, private or academic settings. International students enrolled in American universities and colleges are welcome to apply, but need to be proficient to a high degree in written and spoken English and meet specific Congressional ethics rules that pertain to international student interns.
