Writing a blog about your OSRE 2025 project

OSRE participants are required to blog three times during their summer program. The first blog is a chance to introduce yourself and your project. The second blog occurs around the mid-point of the project and a final blog post is expected as part of you final project delverable. The organization administrator will send emails with specific dates. Instructions for the blog are indicated below. All blogs should include links to proposals, presentations, links to any deliverables/products as well as an overview of the student’s experience. Check out the student pages from previous years to get an idea of content / size.

We will also ask students and contributors to provide regular status updates which will help track your activities. The organization administrator will provide more details once the program work begins.
