Overview and motivations[edit]
The Institute for Computing in Research is a consortium of scholars, students, and educators, whose purpose is to explore the possibility of younger students (high school age) carrying out research in academic and technical areas.[1][2][3]
The Institute is modeled as a pipeline of educational activities[4] leading to the final phase, a paid internship program in which students work for a month of the summer, mentored by established scholars or technologists in their field of interest.[5]
The internship program is modeled after the Los Alamos National Laboratory student internship program,[6] focused almost entirely on research, and with little or no curated material. Students work full time on research[1][7] with their mentors,[1][5][8] learning skills on the side as needed. The Institute also hosts weekly guest lectures by high-profile researchers, scholars, and technologists.[9]
Student pipeline[edit]
The pipeline consists of the following steps, which are all free of cost,[10][11] and the final of which pays the students:[1][12]
- any time from 6th grade up
- "serious computer programming for youth"[10][12][11][13] workshops - a 10-hour workshop that teaches to program in python, on Linux, with emphasis on the command line and using a programming editor.
- after the workshops
- drop-in fortnightly mini-courses, in which students write small programs in a wide range of research-related areas, from visualization to mathematics to science to digital humanities and more.[14]
- research skills academy
- a 3-week summer program aimed at immersing students into the variety of non computational techniques that the Institute considers important for a young researcher.[15][16]
- math and science working groups
- working groups of students who want to go beyond what is taught in their schools, including Taylor series, Fourier series, numerical solutions to differential equations, and physics with calculus.[17]
- after tenth, 11th, or 12th grade
- paid summer internship[1][7] - a 4-week summer program in which students are paid to work full time on a single research project.
The pipeline materials are taught from free/open-source/open-access web books written by by co-founder Mark Galassi with significant contributions from current and former students in the pipeline.[18]
History[edit]
The Institute for Computing in Research was created in Santa Fe in 2019, following a series of conversations between the four co-founders. The initial aim was to address a shortcoming in many research opportunities for high school students, which the co-founders perceived as mostly available to students from connected families.[19][20] The pilot program hired five high school students form Santa Fe and was run by director Rhonda Crespo.[21]
In 2020 the Institute became a member project of the Software Freedom Conservancy,[20] picking up 501(c)(3) fiscal sponsorship from Software Freedom Conservancy.
In 2021 the Institute opened a pilot program in Portland, Oregon.[2][21] The Portland chapter is directed by Maria de Hoyos.
In 2022 the Institute added a branch in Austin, Texas,[2][22] and now operates in three cities. The Austin chapter is directed by Mark Emry.
In 2023 the Institute will open an internship program in Socorro, New Mexico.
