2016 Summer Internship Program
We are pleased to announce the recipients of the 2016 Enable Community Foundation Internship Program. The program is designed to encourage full-time student participation in open source collaborative problem solving working under the supervision of professors at postsecondary institutions. Awards of US $5,000 each are being conferred to be used to pay one or more summer student interns working on assistive device design, fabrication or related research. Awards allow students to concentrate on addressing research and design issues relevant to upper limb assistive device innovation and improvement.
Throughout the summer, the interns and their supervising Principal Investigator (PI) will report on their progress through participation in the R&D forums and by participation in a series of scheduled Roundtables on Google Hangouts.
