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.

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.

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.
