---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: James Landay <landay@cs.washington.edu> Date: Thu, May 17, 2012 at 5:55 PM Subject: [dub-students] World Lab Summer Institute To: "dub-faculty (dub-faculty@dub.washington.edu)" <dub-faculty@dub.washington.edu>, "dub-students@dub.washington.edu" <dub-students@dub.washington.edu>, "dub@dub.washington.edu" <dub@dub.washington.edu> As those of you who saw my dub retreat talk know, we will have a new innovative program this summer on the UW campus: The World Lab Summer Institute. We will put 10 UW students (strong undergrads and young grad students) together with 10 top students from Tsinghua University in China. Students will work on interdisciplinary teams (designers, technologists, and social scientists) that are also cross-cultural (Chinese and Americans) to make impact on the Environment, Health, or Education. The students will work on 7-week projects (from mid-July to late August) with an optional week in Beijing to show off the demos/videos that are produced. The program will include morning lectures/design exercises, team work the rest of the day, and Friday industry lab tours. This entire program will be funded by industry at no cost to the students. I am now recruiting for the UW participants in the program. If you are interested in joining us in this incredible effort, please drop me a note telling me about yourself. I've attached a high level summary of the program as well as a link to a tentative schedule (we will be adding more design thanks to Prof. Tad Hirsch and more entrepreneurship lectures TBD): http://www.cs.washington.edu/homes/landay/teaching/world%20lab%20summer/ Thanks! James PS dub Faculty, if you know of appropriate students for this special opportunity please encourage them and pass this information on. --- James A.
