CIMC staff extend a special welcome to youth programs from UW Outreach, the People Program, summer MSPE students, and area teachers. Summer program highlights include:

The week of June 18th CIMC staff host the Technology and Arts program in CIMC labs. Coordinated through SoE Outreach, the program is designed for students in grades 6-9, and offers exploratory classes ranging from Storytelling and Art Journals, Digital Storytelling, Music and CD Recording, and Cartooning and Computer Animation.

During June and July, 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.

June 26 through July 12, College for Kids resides at the CIMC as well as other locations around campus. Administrated by SoE Outreach, College for Kids serves over 300 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 http://www.education.wisc.edu/cfk/.

Beginning in June and running through the 8 week session, CIMC staff also provide technology and instruction support to MSPE (Masters of Science for Professional Educators). MSPE students also spend class and project time at the CIMC over a 10-day resident period.
