The rest of the students should email their

Students will be selected based upon their level of interest in the subject, motivation to learn new concepts, and capacity for analytical thinking. Many of the projects are computational in nature; in these cases, it is desirable that the student have some programming experience. Preference may be given to rising seniors who are willing to commit to working full-time for a period of at least 8 weeks, and ideally longer, starting in early June.
Please contact SIP program administrator Ms Joanne Yamaguma (joanne at ucsc dot edu) or SIP program director Raja GuhaThakurta (raja at ucolick dot org) if you have any questions. Please do NOT contact the mentors directly during the application process, unless you are specifically asked to provide additional information to them.
