Mentoring Opportunity for PhD Students

Opportunity to mentor talented high school students part-time ($75-$100 per teaching hour)

Founded by Harvard grad students, Lumiere is a social enterprise where students work 1-1 with a research mentor on an independent research project. Mentorship is entirely remote and compensation is between $75 to $100 per teaching hour with an option to do the program pro bono and work with low-income students. If this is of interest, sign up at this link by March 1 and the Lumiere team will reach out for an interview if you’re a fit! Here’s some slides about what they do:

Intent to Submit: Clean Tech Innovation Competition

As a reminder:

This competition challenges students and faculty from accredited colleges and universities across the Southeastern United States to develop scalable solutions for dual use solar farms that allow for the co-location of solar energy production and agriculture. Dual use solar farms, or agrivoltaics, is an emerging technology that can help in the following ways:

• Reduce competition for land• Provide climate-smart solutions to improving land productivity• Improve crop water-use efficiency, profitability, and economic resilience of agriculture.

Strata is offering an award of up to $25k for final-stage solutions and technologies that have achieved proof of concept. Submissions will be accepted ONLY between October 17, 2022 at 12PM EST & February 21, 2023 at 4PM EST. Winners will be announced at the 2023 UNC Clean Tech Summit.
