Week 3: At Home Intern
This week, I am sad to say that I don’t think my blog will be as interesting as it could be. I’ve been home for the past week in California, and I’m eager to get back to DC. Being back in California was great. I’m so happy I spent Father’s Day with my family and caught up with and visited many friends and family. The flexibility of APS’s remote work environment boosts productivity, considering that besides meetings, people can work on their own time and get work done at the best time for them.
I spent this week continuing my work on the Innovation fund, reviewing the highest-scoring pre-proposals, and preparing for the coming weeks, as we will decide who moves onto the full proposal stage. The full proposal stage requires applicants to expand on their ideas from the pre-proposal stage and give in-depth explanations and answers to our questions. Many of the proposals involve innovative ideas that include spreading the knowledge of quantum science through various media such as content creation, curriculum, artwork, and many others.
I’m excited to continue working on this project back in DC and reunite with my fellow interns! Stay tuned for Week 4.
