If you need undergrad researcher/developer, this might be a good opportunity. Let me know.

Hi newprofs!
Are you looking for ways to: - connect with more undergrad students in your research? - help undergrad students learn more about what research is? - give your graduate students an opportunity to supervise and mentor a student?
The Toronto Undergraduate Research in Computer Science club is running a "Research-a-thon" in the month of November. See below for details. If you or your students are interested in mentoring a group, please contact Sophie Nam s.nam@mail.utoronto.ca or the TURCS group turcsuoft@gmail.com
There is no explicit deadline, but they do need to match mentors and groups by the beginning of November, so sooner is best.

During the Research-a-thon, students will form groups of 4-5 to work on a single research project together over 3 sessions of 3 hours over the month of November. We believe that this will provide the students with a better understanding of research and push them to reach out to professors and graduate students on their own if they wish to continue on with research.
We are reaching out to professors, graduate students, and experienced undergraduates to ask if they would possibly be available mentor one of the groups. The mentors could provide their mentee group with the research project and observe and guide them through their work in the short sessions, or use one of the projects we have received from professors last year.
