Scientific paper
As a SPS Summer Intern from the University of Wisconsin-River Falls, I spent nine weeks in the Washington, D.C. area working with the American Physical Society. My work dealt primarily with the development of a ComPADRE outreach website, Physics To Go, which offers the public opportunities to engage in informal physics learning. Specific tasks that I performed included locating content to feature on the homepage, obtaining photographer permissions, and cataloging quality websites into the digital library. At the conclusion of the summer, I accepted an offer to continue working on Physics To Go and have further contributed to its expansion. Participating in this internship has influenced my life in several respects, and as a result, I will be enrolling in a graduate program this coming year. Additionally, I am making plans to participate in a National Student Exchange program and am considering a career with a greater emphasis on research. The internship has served as an invaluable and irreplaceable experience.
