Center for Education Integrating Science Math and Computing (CEISMC)

❤️🩺 Week 1 of is in the books for our Pulse Check campers!

Students explored the cardiovascular system, learned how the heart keeps the body moving, practiced taking blood pressure, and stepped into the role of physicians through hands-on activities and real-world medical case discussions.

A great start for our future healthcare professionals! 🫀✨

🔬⚗️ Week 1 of is off to an amazing start!

Our Masters of Science campers have been exploring matter, energy, and the world around them through hands-on experiments, creative challenges, and exciting STEM discoveries. 🧪⚡🔍

From asking big questions to making new friends, they're learning that science is everywhere—and having a lot of fun along the way!

The future of learning doesn't begin in adulthood. It starts in classrooms, schools, and other learning environments. That's why we're inviting you -- K-12 educators, leaders, innovators -- to share your work at the 2026 Lifetime Learning Symposium.

This year’s call for proposals centers on three tracks:

Activating the learning lifecycle
Actualizing access through scale
Authoring the new credentialing landscape

Proposals might look like designing hands-on, real-world learning experiences, expanding access to programs across schools and communities, or rethinking how students demonstrate competency beyond traditional grades and assessments.

If you are building something like this or testing new ideas, we would like to hear from you.

Proposals due by Sunday, June 14.
