Wright Scholar Research Assistant Program
Wright Scholar Research Assistant Program
What is the Wright Scholar Research Assistant Program?
What is the Wright Scholar Research Assistant Program?
The Wright Scholar Research Assistant program is an Air Force Research Laboratory initiative designed to expose high school juniors and seniors to various disciplines of engineering and science in an effort to further their interest in future STEM career options. Wright Scholars are competitively selected to work as full-time, paid interns for 9 weeks during the summer. Selected students are assigned to a workplace and mentor to work on a research project for the duration of their internship. The GRILL is one of the workplaces where Wright Scholars are assigned to work. Wright Scholars that have expressed interest in computer science, engineering, and aerospace often are assigned to the GRILL.
What do Wright Scholars do at the GRILL?
What do Wright Scholars do at the GRILL?
While at the GRILL, Wright Scholars get to choose a simulation to develop from a list of projects. Then that Wright Scholar, along with the others who chose that project, work together using commercial off-the-shelf gaming technology such as Unreal Engine and Unity to create their simulation. All projects given to Wright Scholars are real projects, which have been requested by customers of the GRILL. Wright Scholars must communicate with the customer, implement the customer's requests in their simulation, and turn in a final copy to the customer at the end of the season. You can see previous projects done by Wright Scholars in our projects page. (Note: Not all projects listed were done by AFRL Scholars)
Example of a Wright Scholar Project
Example of a Wright Scholar Project
Over the summer of 2020, Wright Scholars made this VR simulation of the laser dazzle effect. The user must perform tasks normally, then perform them again with a virtual laser shining in their eyes intermittently.
