Blending traditional academic research skill acquisition with creative “R&D”, hacking, and making activities, this internship is intended to prepare students for success in future academic and career endeavors related to critical making and technology-engaged research. Students applying to take part in this opportunity must identify a specific research question or project idea they would like to explore; DSS and OL staff will work with students to refine the scope of the research and/or exploration of digital tools or methods that they will undertake during the program.

We are inviting you to participate in two studies, the Interpersonal Interaction Study and Dyadic Interaction Study!

These studies involve a very brief screening survey to determine whether you are eligible, and then a 1-hour session where you will come into the lab and answer questions about your thoughts, feelings, and emotions, and potentially complete a reading and writing task. Additionally, we will ask you to have a conversation with other participants.

While there is no compensation for filling out the brief screening survey, eligible participants can earn $10 for each study!

To sign up for each study, you can take a brief screening survey by following the links below:

2. Dyadic Interaction Study: https://pitt.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_7Uw27JzbOKjSaPQ

These studies have been reviewed by the University of Pittsburgh’s IRB.

If you have any questions, please contact the lab manager, Nalanda Ray, at IIRLAB@pitt.edu.
