Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education (ORISE)

Join us on April 16 for an informative outreach session providing an overview of available internship and fellowship opportunities. This session will highlight programs currently accepting applications, eligibility requirements, application timelines, and the benefits of participating in ORISE appointments. The session will conclude with guidance on navigating the application process and a Q&A with program teams to address attendee questions.

Gamification in the classroom applies game design elements, like points, badges, leaderboard, and leveling up, to increase student engagement and improving learning. Gamification does not mean turning everything into a game, though. As our Albert Einstein Distinguished Educator Fellows discuss in this episode of the ORISE Featurecast, gamification is selective. Natasja Brown, guest co-host for this cohort of AEF Fellows, and host Michael Holtz are joined by Shane Wines and Steve Kirsche, two experts on gamification in the classroom.

Make plans to join us August 25-28, for the 2026 ORISE Symposium! This virtual event will feature professional development webinars, a poster session showcasing the research of ORISE participants, and ceremonies recognizing the winners of this year’s Ignite Off! competition and Future of Science Awards. The symposium will be open to all ORISE participants, alumni, mentors, and federal agency staff.

Whether you're stepping into your first internship, building a personal brand, or looking to level up your career, a professional photo is no longer optional, it’s essential.
