SIParCS technical projects 2023
The following 14 projects are being pursued by 2023 SIParCS interns. Selected from more than 150 applicants and representing 14 colleges and universities, the 16 SIParCS participants began their 11-week internships on May 22 and will conclude August 4 with their project presentations. This year, all the interns chose to pursue their projects in person in Boulder. Unless otherwise noted, all mentors are from CISL.
