Center for Education Integrating Science Math and Computing (CEISMC) Bringing Georgia Tech's Spirit of Research & Innovation to K-12 STEM Education in Georgia as part of the College of Lifetime Learning!

The Center for Education Integrating Science, Mathematics, and Computing (CEISMC) (pronounced like "seismic") is a unit of the College of Lifetime Learning at Georgia Tech. Since 1991, CEISMC has served as the primary connection point between Georgia Tech and the pre-collegiate education communities. CEISMC provides inclusive and inspiring STEM/STEAM enrichment experiences in classroom and out-of-

school settings. CEISMC develops an extensive array of research and implementation programs focused on multiple dimensions of STEM educational reform. CEISMC offers teacher professional development focused on innovative curricula and evidence-based practices in fields such as STEM with arts and music integration, computer science, robotics, invention and entrepreneurship. These opportunities and initiatives are achieved through school and community outreach and local and sustainable partnerships that foster student success and workforce development. EXCEL, Georgia Tech's inclusive postsecondary and education opportunity housed within CEISMC, is a four-year college certificate program for students with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

The NASA Sea Level Education, Awareness, & Literacy (SEAL) Project hosted a day-long workshop on sea level rise for K-12 and informal educators on Saturday, August 29, with our colleague, Jayma Koval, serving as facilitator.

The workshop covered the fundamentals of sea level rise, showcased curriculum and activities developed through the grant, including a mixed reality sand table, and featured a lunch & learn presentation from Alexander Robel on research from his Ice, Climate, and Coasts Lab.

The SEAL Project is a partnership between NASA, Sea Grant NOAA programs, and institutional partners. Workshop collaborators included Jayma Koval, co-principal investigator on the Georgia team; Jill Gambill, principal investigator on the Georgia team; Noah Posner and Tim Trent, all from the Institute for People and Technology at Georgia Tech; Alex Robel from the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences in the College of Sciences; and Rachel Warren from CEISMC.

Wrapped up another wonderful summer! ☀️

Over the past few months, we’ve watched students explore STEM through hands-on learning, tackle engineering and design challenges, build coding and robotics skills, conduct experiments, and discover new interests alongside their peers.

Thank you to our instructors, staff, and collaborators for making another successful summer possible, and to our students and families for the support.

We’re wishing all students a great school year ahead; keep asking questions and trying new things. See you next summer!

Students turned environmental data into meaningful insights during our summer camp on Data Visualization & the Environment! 🌎

Funded by an NSF AISL grant, 21 students from Snellville Middle School got to explore environmental data and learn how to create visualizations in Tableau. To close out their time with the program, they presented capstone projects on environmental issues impacting their communities.

A special thank you to GIFT Teacher Dejon Mackin-Irving for leading the camp, and to Jayma Koval, Sabrina Grossman, Rachel Warren, and Jessica Roberts, as well as to Jessica Roberts' lab members Seik Oh, Yuhan Wang, and Bhumika Somesh Saini for helping make this experience possible!

Reconnecting with the educators who make STEM learning happen! 🤝

A few weeks ago, we had the pleasure of welcoming educators back to campus for a reunion with Sabrina Grossman and Jayma Koval from our CEISMC team. From GoSTEAM to the SLIDER program, educators like Lorenzo and Charmagne have collaborated with CEISMC to bring innovative, hands-on STEM learning into their classrooms.

Years later, their experiences continue to inspire new ideas, strengthen connections, and remind us of the lasting impact of educator partnerships. 🔬 We're so grateful to have reconnected with members of our educator community and to celebrate the work accomplished together, as well as the work that lies ahead!
