Volunteers Needed to Engage with Speculative Robotics Lab
Every Friday Through March 28
11:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. | Sessions Every Half Hour
Innovation Advancement Suites, Office #8, Suite 1250
Care takes many forms, and its future is full of possibilities. The speculative robotics lab is dedicated to imagining and prototyping new ways care might unfold—particularly in hospital settings—through speculative design and futuring.
NIC Partners and the Lincoln community are invited to playtest and co-create future care scenarios where robotics and design intersect with human experience. Participants will engage through ideation, drawing, writing and methods from theater, movement and
live-action role-play, transforming physical space into narrative stages for imagination.
Each session is 30 minutes. Anyone is welcome to stop by, engage with the speculative and contribute to shaping the future of care.

Internship Program for NIC Partners
Internships play a key role in providing students with critical job experiences while helping businesses achieve their goals. To encourage this interaction, the
Nebraska Engineering, Science and Technology Internship Program (NESTIP), funded through
Nebraska EPSCoR, has teamed with Nebraska Innovation Campus to offer project-based paid internships in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). This cost-share program is intended to facilitate technology
transfer between Nebraska higher education and businesses and to encourage applied research that benefits state industries.
Any Nebraska business enterprise that meets the definition of "qualified business" in the Nebraska revised statutes 77-5715 is eligible to participate in NESTIP. The business must have a location on Nebraska Innovation Campus where the student will serve as
an intern but does not need to have its home office in Nebraska.
To request additional information about the Nebraska EPSCoR Internship Program at NIC, please email
Kate Engel, NIC Executive Director.
