Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory: AI Laboratory Guide for Physics with Smartphones Intern
Host: Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) (1 available)
Description: This internship focuses on developing a new educational tool for teaching physics at the high school and college levels. It will utilize smartphone sensors to conduct a wide range of measurements, enabling students to build their knowledge and skills in science and engineering. Over the past five years, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) has developed a curriculum that leverages smartphone technology for physics education. The next phase of this initiative aims to integrate recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) with mobile sensor technology. The goal is to create a platform that guides students through a diverse array of experiments, providing real-time feedback and enhances critical thinking throughout the experiment.
Intern Responsibilities
The intern will collaborate with LLNL and American Institute of Physics (AIP) staff to:
- Develop a comprehensive plan for a national-scale project to create educational materials and an AI-enabled experimental guide using the physics with phones approach.
- Design a development and testing strategy that utilizes the extensive Society of Physics Students network.
Qualifications
The ideal candidate will possess:
- At least one year of college-level physics coursework.
- A strong interest in AI tools and their applications in education.
- A desire to make a meaningful impact on physics education.
