Dr. Teuscher taught a 3-day Girls Inc. Eureka! cohort. Activities included Scratch, slime mold, cellular automata, and squishy circuits.
“Eureka! is a five year Girls Inc. program that brings 8th – 12th grade girls, including many who will be first generation college applicants, onto local college and university campuses for an intensive STEM summer program.”
tlab and former MCECS Undergraduate Research and Mentoring Program (URMP) student Jeff Udall was offered a highly competitive STARNet internship. He was also invited to present his work at the TECHCON 2017 conference in Austin, TX. STARnet is a collaborative network of stellar research centers finding paths around the fundamental physical limits threatening the long-term growth of the microelectronics industry.
Congrats to Maddie, Sai, and Walt!
