Dear Phys 2020 students,
The PhET project is seeking volunteers to assist in the development of new computer simulations ("sims") for teaching Physics. As a volunteer, you would spend 1-2 hours playing with a new sim and describing your impressions of it. We compensate $15 per hour for your effort (it can be kind of fun, too). You can see the sims we've already developed, and more information on the project, at the PhET website: phet.colorado.edu.
Interviews will be scheduled at your convenience. If interested, please contact Noah Podolefsky by email ( noah.podolefsky(at)colorado.edu).
We can accept only a limited number of volunteers, so we hope to hear from you soon!
Cheers,
Noah - If you need to talk to your Prof, please go here.
