Tutor at an elementary, middle or high school in Seattle during Summer or Fall Quarter with the UW Pipeline Project!
The UW Pipeline Project recruits, trains and places UW students as volunteer tutors in Seattle schools and community organizations. We are recruiting tutors for Summer and Fall quarter to volunteer with about 40 different schools, and would love to have you!
Volunteer during Summer or Fall Quarter:
We’ll help you get set up tutoring in a K-12 classroom or community organization. Tutors make a minimum commitment of 2-3 hours per week for at least one quarter.
The schedule is flexible: schools need tutors Mon-Fri between 7:30 and 5pm. And we offer transportation to some of our partner schools that have the highest need for tutors. More information can be found here: http://expd.uw.edu/pipeline/volunteer/
Take an EDUC 401 Inner Pipeline Seminar Class for Credit:
Participate in a weekly Pipeline seminar and tutor for at least 2.5 hours a week at a Seattle school or community organization! All of our courses are Credit/No Credit, are I & S credits, and are listed under EDUC 401. The number of credits a student receives depends on the number of tutoring hours completed in addition to seminar attendance. 2 credits: weekly seminar and tutor 2-3 hours per week. Seminars are a fantastic opportunity to learn about issues in public education and tutoring strategies, while reflecting and learning from your tutoring site.

Fall 2017 Inner Pipeline Seminar Spotlights:
Tutoring Math and Science in K-12 Education
EDUC 401C
Tuesdays 4:30-5:50pm
In this seminar, students explore the world of math and science in K-12 schools by attending seminars that focus on current educational topics and tutoring at one of Pipeline’s partner schools. A key feature of the course is the opportunity to reflect on and share tutoring experiences in order to gain advice, suggestions, and pointers. Several seminars are devoted to best practices for science and math tutoring. The seminar also includes brief readings and discussion of critical topics in K-12 science and math education. Through the lens of social justice, this course will include conversation and critique of the social, political and economic factors that affect STEM education.
If you have any questions about how to get involved with Pipeline Project feel free to email us at pipeline@uw.edu or visit us anytime M-F 9am-5pm in Mary Gates Hall Suite 171.
Teaching Schedule for 17-18
For those who are interested, the tentative teaching schedule is up for next year, 2017-2018 courses.

This is always subject to change, but it’s our current best guess at what will be offered next year.
CSE 446 news
*Please note that Math 308 is now a required prerequisite course for CSE 446. While the system will still allow you to register for the course this fall without math 308, you will be expected to have that knowledge going into the course.

Hello, CSE majors! If you’re interested in helping students and working with the CSE Advising team, consider applying to be a 2017-18 Peer Adviser: Full position description here.
In brief: The CSE Peer Advisers work 5-10 hours per week during the quarter. They counsel individual students, present information, and help with occasional events; meet with high school students (and families), current UW pre-major students, and CSE majors; and discuss academic planning, what computer science/engineering is, CSE admissions, how to prep for industry, and how to connect with opportunities. Our Peer Advisers bring the incredibly valuable expertise of actually studying computer science or engineering — something none of our professional advisers has done. 🙂
Hiring details:
Application open now, closing Monday May 1
Start date: Autumn quarter 2017, preferably for the full year but dates are negotiable
Training should take place in Spring and Summer 2017; exact dates are flexible

Hello CSE undergrads!
We are excited to announce our first-ever Paul G. Allen School Spring Poster Session! All students who have participated in any capstone or project courses this year are encouraged to apply to present their posters.
The Event
The 2017 Allen School undergraduate poster session will be held on Thursday, June 8th, from 3:30-5 p.m. in the Atrium. The poster session is open to all BS and BS/MS students who participated in a capstone course (such as 475 and 481) or project course (such as 440 and 446) during the 2016-17 academic year.
This will be a more formal event, with high profile CSE alumni and friends coming to view your work. Attendance will be by invitation only. Presenting students are welcome to bring family members, as it will be the day before our CSE commencement ceremony.
Because space is limited, there is a short application process. Student posters will be selected based on various factors including the quality of the abstract in the application, the likely interests of the Allen School alumni/friends visiting, and our goal to present a wide range of ‘cool’ projects from multiple courses.
Why participate?
The Details
Application Process

Lazowska” <lazowska@uw.edu> Cc: David Iyall <iyall@uw.edu>, Ted Hanson <tjhanson@uw.edu>
Hi Ed,
Ted Hanson and I met with the folks from the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency last Friday and they shared the new date for their annual Hackathon. Here is the link to their promotion and registration that I also sent to some other departments in Engineering:
Because they changed the date, they said there’s not been a large turnout so far, so they’ve raised the first prize from $4k to $10k. Some of our students would have a very good shot at this, but it’s right around the corner!
Best,
Val
