QEM TCUP EAGER “Native Languages and Technology” Program: Using Technology to Support the Documentation and Preservation of Native Languages
The QEM Network received support from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to investigate the effects of collaborative technology-enabled, hands-on language research projects on the recruitment into, and retention of, American Indian males in Computer Science or Information Technology (CS/IT) courses and majors. During the academic year, project participants will be provided opportunities to take on-line technology courses, attend information-sharing training webinars, and develop/implement language-focused research projects. Participating faculty-student teams will be invited to discuss their research ideas or results, benefits of the QEM EAGER project, and lessons learned at a Summer 2018 follow-up symposium. They also will discuss dissemination, recruitment, and sustainability strategies to expand interest among American Indian males in CS/IT overall, and computational linguistics, in particular.
The South Central Climate Science Center is offering summer undergraduate internships to students of underrepresented minorities interested in STEM and passionate about climate change. Interns will be involved in hands-on activities and mini-projects related to climate research that allow them to see the direct impacts of climate variability and change across the country. As part of the internship, interns will travel across the south-central United States to visit university campuses and field locations. The internship dates are July 8-28, 2018, and all meals and lodging will be provided, as well as a $200 weekly stipend.
Youth Rebuilders is a summer experience that equips Native youth with nation building training and inspires them to share their visions for the future. We’ll meet the selected Youth Rebuilders in their own community and provide them with three days of fun, interactive programming.
The Tribal Stewards Program is specifically designed to provide hands on training and experience to Native American young adults who are interested in pursuing employment with conservation corps, land and water resource management agencies, and other outdoor careers. The Tribal Stewards Program integrates team-based work projects, culture relevancy, education, and on-site vocational training into an experience that prioritizes personal growth, and the development of conservation work skills. Participants will develop technical skills working on a variety of conservation projects while developing the soft skills needed to be successful in the outdoor industry.
The Bezos Scholars Program is a year-long leadership development program for public high school juniors and educators. The program begins with a scholarship to attend the Aspen Ideas Festival and continues through the following school year, when Bezos Scholar Teams return to their communities to launch sustainable, local Ideas Festivals that transform their schools and communities.
