Internship Opportunities
The TeRK project is looking for Summer interns from the southwestern Pennsylvania area! We are looking for motivated and talented students to develop software and hardware that helps make robotics accessible and engaging to a broad spectrum of users - including children and communities. Excellent Java and web programming skills are required. We are also interested in interns with exceptional Flash skills.
Willingness to work as part of a multidisciplinary team is a must. On this project you will be collaborating with a UI designer, a technical writer, and researchers in robotics, design, and informal learning. Our lab is committed to broadening access to computational and robotic technologies. By working on this project you will be contributing to that goal and getting to explore some pretty cool technology too!
