The Zed Factor Fellowship invites you to apply for aerospace internships

Monday, October 24th, 2022

The Zed Factor Fellowship invites all students who are interested in aerospace to apply for its 2023 fellowship program.

The Zed Factor Fellowship is an aerospace internship and community outreach program for undergraduate students hailing from historically excluded communities and backgrounds.

Students selected for the program will receive a 10-week paid summer or fall fellowship. The program encourages students in all majors, including STEM, business/marketing, communications/journalism, policy/pre-law, humanities, and social sciences to apply.

Founded by a group of aerospace professionals from diverse backgrounds, the Zed Factor Fellowship empowers and engages learners and aspiring space and aviation professionals through hands-on, practical experiences working in and contributing to the leading companies of the aerospace community.

In addition to the internship placement, students will receive mentorship from an executive and young professional in their field, and carry out a funded space- or aviation-related community engagement project.

Applications are being accepted for placement with leading space and aviation companies for internships beginning in late spring/early summer 2023. The application deadline is Monday, Jan. 2.

Additionally, we are hosting an information session Wednesday, Nov. 2, for students to learn more about the fellowship and how to apply. Fill out this form to register for the session.

Maker Hub’s ‘Tool Tip Friday’: Sublimation Printer

Thursday, October 20th, 2022

In need of an awesome gift idea or new art project? Well, the Maker Hub has got you covered!

The Maker Hub’s Sawgrass Sublimation Printer works in conjunction with the mug press and heat press to add any design onto various items, including mugs, signage, bags and apparel. Designs can also be added to many other different materials including ceramics, wood, metal, polyester and glass.

For fabrics, sublimation dye only adheres to polyester. Cotton/polyester blends are OK to use so long as the polyester content is at least 50%. Keep in mind that the sublimation dye will not bond with the cotton, so the resultant image will have a slightly more faded or “vintage” look when using cotton/polyester blends.

Sublimation is a digital printing process that uses heat and pressure to embed ink into a fabric or surface to produce an image. It utilizes a special dye and a molecular bonding process to apply and permanently adhere HD images, graphics and photos to polymers and polyesters at a sub-surface level.

Unlike other printing processes that use chemicals to bond ink to the surface of a product, the sublimation process bonds at a sub-surface level rather than on top, allowing for a high-quality image that will not crack or peel. For more information, visit the Maker Hub’s Wiki Page for the sublimation printer.

The Maker Hub exists as a resource and creative outlet for the entire George Fox community (yes, including non-engineers!). We are looking for student aces. A student ace is simply an expert on a piece of equipment who helps train other students on the usage of that equipment and gains extra privileges within the Maker Hub.

Please email makerhub@georgefox.edu if you would like to get connected or have any questions.
