CS Students needed for Nanotechnology Research

NuLEAF Technologies is a student volunteer group that is connected to NASA.  We seek to generate electricity from plants using nanotechnology, and are recruiting computer science students for our nano-simulations and IT teams.  The nano-simulations team will program a visual simulation to model chemical reactions on the nano-scale.  The IT team will create and maintain our website.  Benefits to joining our team include seminars where professionals lecture on STEM topics, and a mentorship network of industry professionals and professors. 


Please visit our website - www.nuleaftech.com - or e-mail contact@nuleaftech.com if you are interested or have any questions.
