Quantum Teaming:  How to create a virtual internship to provide online students with real-world experience

This presentation will provide insight into the creation of a successful virtual internship program. We will discuss/share all aspects of our virtual internship program to include how to establish and set up a virtual environment for students to interact and learn real-world applications with hands-on activities. We will also explore the academic side of the internship program from the development side to the instructor side. This is meant to be the type of presentation with informal information and plenty of opportunity for questions/remarks from the audience.
