| What
is Design for Science?
The Design for Science program
connects and supports undergraduate student designers with researchers
using computational science (i.e., using computers to pursue
their scientific goals) and working on new ways to teach subjects
such as visual computing. Some short lectures on the concepts behind computer graphics are followed by paid design
work with researchers.
Student participants will
learn about a variety of fields that support effective use of
digital design, contribute visual expertise,
and assist in the creation of
visual work for papers, posters, research, and more.
Students participants
do not need any programming or mathematics background.
Students will be paid a stipend for their work.
Women,
minorities, and people who never thought they would be involved
with computers are especially encouraged to
apply.
The fall 2006-2007 program is underway.
If you are interested in participating in the spring please email ams @ cs.brown.edu. Describe your interest and any relevant background. You can also attach image files or provide a URL if you have art/design work to show.
