Fwd: Intern offer

[Artur Dubrawski]

I know we are going to be swamped with interns this summer, most of whom
would likely be more capable on the start than this one,
but if you'd like to contribute to outreach by mentoring a talented high
schooler with little if any AI experience, please let me know.

Hello friends and faculty,

We are beginning a pilot experiment with CCAC this year to grow in
future years. They are identifying students from marginalized
backgrounds who are in high school and are taking CCAC's early college
courses and doing very well. CCAC will offer the student a stipend
($3.5K) and a summer course; and I have volunteered to help place the
student in a lab at CMU over the summer- 4 days a week of work for
approx. 12 weeks- so the student can learn about being on campus and
doing research. All costs are covered by CCAC and anything extra the
Center for Shared Prosperity will cover (like, a bus pass). We will also
place them with Tartan Scholars so they get some college strategizing.

Lillian Martin is the first such student. She's as Oakland Catholic; I
have talked to her mother as well and they're extremely excited about
this prospect. Her interests are listed below; she just did the CS AP
test and knows Python and Javascript. If you could consider hosting her
for the summer, please email me. This is part of our effort to come up
with structural ways of bringing local students into our world ; the
letters of rec they get and connections give them newfound possibilities
moving forward.
