CIMC staff extends a special welcome back to youth programs from UW Outreach, the People Program, summer MSPE students, and CIMC patrons and area teachers. Summer programming at the CIMC include:
The week of June 13th, CIMC staff host the Technology and Arts program in CIMC labs. Coordinated through SoE Outreach, the program is designed for students 6-9, and offers exploratory classes ranging from African Art to Funky Sculpture and Collage AND Computer Animation.

In June, we welcome instructors and students with UW Madison�s People Program. The PEOPLE Program (Pre-College Enrichment Opportunity Program for Learning Excellence) seeks to increase enrollment and graduation by ethnic minority and low-income students in institutions of higher education, particularly at UW-Madison. Working in CIMC computer labs, students will explore Geometer Sketchpad in CIMC labs, and explore resources at the CIMC.
June and July, College for Kids resides at the CIMC as well as other locations around campus. Administrated by SoE Outreach, College for Kids serves over 312 children from over 35 school districts and private schools in Dane County. Students choose from a series of workshops, demonstrations, tours and discussions. For additional information, see

MSPE (Masters of Science for Professional Educators). MSPE students also spend class and project time at the CIMC over a 10-day resident period.
