Eligibility
Open to Undergraduate students.
Applications are invited from students for the Internship Program in Technology Supported Education – Winter School 2009. This is organized with the Partnership between the Indian Insititute for Information Technology in Hyderabad and Carnegie Mellon University & sponsorship from the Pittsburgh Science of Learning Center and the MacArthur Foundation. The goal of this Internship is to create an international bridge between institutions of higher learning in India and Carnegie Mellon University, which is at the forefront of research both in technology and in the learning sciences in the U.S., and even worldwide.
Benefits of Internship:
– This internship program in technology-supported education will draw on broad areas such as mobile learning, educational games, technology-assisted language learning, computer-assisted collaborative learning, intelligent tutors, machine learning, educational data mining, human-computer interaction, as well as speech and language technologies.
– This internship program will provide valuable research training opportunities for Indian undergraduates through a partnership between one of India’s premier technical universities and one of the top ranking schools of computer science in the world, with the goal of expanding the pool of talented young researchers in India.
The internship program will be composed of two stages. In the first stage, students will apply to participate in a two-week winter school from December 10-22, 2009 in Hyderabad. During these two weeks, students will attend lectures. Students who successfully complete the winter school will be invited to apply for research internships at Carnegie Mellon University. Successful applicants for stage two will be matched with internship advisors for a summer internship at Carnegie Mellon University’s main campus in Pittsburgh, USA, for summer 2010. Some financial support for the summer internship may be available.
