The Advanced Manufacturing and Prototyping Integrated to Unlock Potential (AMP-IT-UP) program at Georgia Tech will be featured in the 2018 STEM for All Video Showcase funded by the National Science Foundation. The online event will be held May 14 -21, 2018.

AMP-IT-UP teachers Cheryl Wilder and Kathy Duke from Griffin-Spalding County schools participated in an ECOGIG research cruise to the Gulf of Mexico. The cruise provided the teachers with real-world experiences that they will apply in the classroom, where they have been teaching their seventh graders three AMP-IT-UP modules on ocean ecology.

Georgia Tech participated in the 2017 NSF STEM for All Video Showcase: Research & Design for Impact. Its submission highlighted the AMP-IT-UP NSF Math and Science Partnership.

A team of volunteers put together by Sean Rodrigues, a Ph.D. student in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) at Georgia Tech, held a mini workshop series titled "A Day of Light" that aimed to both unify the concept of optics to K-12 students and to introduce them to career pathways in the field. 

Each year, Georgia Tech hosts the FIRST LEGO League State Championship Tournament and welcomes more than 200 budding engineers and scientists to campus.

Jeff Rosen of CEISMC at Georgia Tech receives a special recognition award at the International Technology and Engineering Educators Association (ITEEA) 79th Annual Conference held March 16-18, 2017 in Dallas, Texas.
