Spring 2024 Application: https://forms.gle/zpScdpAUC1mxjn4k7

Applications are competitive and the final date to apply is 4/30/2024.

Washington Hyperloop is a student-run organization. Our goal is to design and build a tunnel boring machine to compete at Elon Musk’s Not-a-Boring Competition [boringcompany.com].

In order to complete the design, our team is broken up into sub-teams that will be responsible for the components of the TBM. 

In this role, you’ll manage the project budget, allocate funds, seek funding sources, maintain detailed financial records, and generate reports for stakeholders. Additionally, you’ll utilize social media marketing to promote the project, engage the audience, attract potential funding, and monitor campaign expenses and effectiveness.

We are accepting applicants from all academic standings regardless of their experience.

Hello,

I am oSTEM’s Undergraduate Outreach Coordinator. oSTEM is a RSO that aims to provide community, support, networking, and educational opportunities for LGBTQ+/Queer students, faculty, and staff in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM)-related fields through social mixers. We are looking to reach more undergraduate students as current members have been primarily graduate students since the return to campus after COVID. We believe our graduate student base can be a valuable resource to undergrad STEM students, particularly for those interested in pursuing research, and aim to facilitate spaces where they can mingle.

Hello,

Global Renewables Infrastructure Development (GRID) at UW is recruiting! GRID is a student-led organization focused on getting students involved with solar technology and helping apply it to off-grid communities. We’re an interdisciplinary mix of graduate and undergraduate students with backgrounds in engineering, natural sciences, social sciences, and more.

In the past, GRID has installed solar kits in post-Hurricane Maria Puerto Rico and non-electrified regions of Guatemala. Current projects include deploying a solar panel test system and collaborating with Kilowatts for Humanity to assist their Zambia project.

Joining our team is a great opportunity to learn more about applications of renewable energy, the socioeconomic impact of technology integration, or gain some experience with microgrids and data acquisition/analysis. Our first meeting will be Thursday, October 12th from 4-5pm in MolES 115. Hope to see you there! Continue reading →
