    The Center for LifeLong Learning and Design (L3D) is seeking a small number of motivated sophomores or juniors to participate in the activities of L3D under the Undergraduate Research Apprenticeship Program. Students from computer science, cognitive science, architecture and planning, or related fields with a strong interest in applying technology to learning, design, and participatory collaboration are encouraged to apply.

    Recipients will have the opportunity to be involved in state-of-the-art, ongoing projects that allow you to work with us to create innovations in the application of technologies to learning and design. Successful candidates will be invited to continue as an undergraduate research apprentice throughout their undergraduate studies.

    Participants will have the opportunity to develop a portfolio of major system-building experience and publications as well as to acquire a firsthand understanding of what research and scholarly work means. In the course of your involvement, you will participate in research meetings and workshops, including opportunities to present your own work, as well as interact with industrial research collaborators. All of these opportunities could open doors to some of the best graduate schools or to key industrial research opportunity
