Undergraduate Research and Creative Engagement Community of Practice logo

We focus on improving the experiences of CU Boulder undergraduates engaged in research and creative activities, developing inclusive and empowering opportunities for undergraduates in all areas of study and creative practice, advocating broadly to promote experiential learning, and advancing equity in all we do.

We encourage you to explore and engage with the content on our site—and join us for a Community Conversation soon. You'll find our events calendar on our SharePoint site and many other opportunities to connect with the community. You'll also find space to post experiential learning opportunities in Boulder and beyond.

Additionally, you'll see information about undergraduate publication and presentation opportunities, lists of campus programs and partners, and community-developed resources, as well as a few action items. We invite you to add information about your programs and resources to the site.

Paid online research opportunity: Maternal communication study

We are writing to invite you to participate in an online language production study conducted via Zoom at a time that is convenient for you. 

The study is open to mothers of 3- to 5-year-old children who are acquiring English as a first language.

You will engage in a task in which you will be shown simple animated actions on a screen (e.g., putting an object on a table) and asked to instruct a hypothetical child or adult listener to perform those actions using props. The total time for the study is 40–45 minutes or less, depending on number of breaks. 

We will send you a $20 Amazon gift card within one to two weeks of study completion (and a $5 gift card even if you complete only part of the study). 

Interested? Visit the study website to enroll.

Be careful with financial advisor solicitations

The University of Colorado takes care and pride in helping faculty and staff to manage their retirement assets. We are committed to offering high quality retirement services, including best-in-class investment options, personal financial advice and retirement programs through TIAA and PERA, in addition to comprehensive resources to assist faculty and staff at every stage of their careers.

That’s why we want to make you aware of unauthorized, misleading solicitations for financial advice from individuals and/or organizations claiming to be associated with CU. These solicitations, delivered through emails, event invitations and cold calls, purport to help with financial planning. Most are intentionally misleading and falsely suggest that CU endorses their services.

Children 12–17 years old needed for paid STEM research study

Is your child interested in STEM? Do they enjoy solving challenging problems?

The NSF AI Institute for Student-AI Teaming at CU Boulder is recruiting students 12–17 years old to participate in a study investigating collaborative problem solving in science, technology, engineering and mathematics domains. 

In the study your child will be working with other participants on a series of group problem-solving tasks. During the study, researchers will use cameras and microphones to record the group’s interaction as they work through the task. They will also use eye tracking to measure your child’s gaze patterns during the experiment.

The studies will last 2.5 hours each, and participants will be compensated $25 per hour ($62.50 total). You will not get course credit for this study. Research will take place at the Center for Innovation and Technology (CINC Room 184G) located at 1777 Exposition Drive. 

If your child is interested in participating in the study, please sign up. Collecting video and audio data of your child and their group’s interactions is mandatory for this study. If you do not want your child to be recorded with video and microphone, you may decide not to participate in this study at any time. You will be sent a parent permission form and an online student assent form for your child to complete prior to the study, as well as a debriefing form after the study to the email you provide. Documents may also be completed in person. Your child does not have to participate, and they can stop participating at any time.

Pease feel free to email isat.lab@colorado.edu with any questions.
