The nationwide NSF - 2019 STEM for All Video Showcase shares short videos on the progress and impact of K-12 STEM learning and teaching projects that are funded by the NSF and other government foundations. This year, the Georgia Tech Center for Education Integrating Science, Mathematics, and Computing, (CEISMC), submitted 3 videos to the showcase.

Rosemary Pitrone, a graduating senior at Georgia Tech, provides insight on the advantages of holding a student assistant position during college.

At the 2019 STEM Teacher Leadership Program (STLP) Symposium, students participating in the Honeywell STEM Challenge presented their engineering projects designed to solve real problems in their communities. Pettrus Konnoth and Divij Motwani, sixth-grade students at Autrey Mill Middle School in Fulton County, won first-place overall for their project, “Blind Sight.”

The Center for Education Integrating Science, Mathematics & Computing (CEISMC) utilizes the resources and expertise of the Georgia Tech community to enhance K-12 education and to prepare students for college and careers in STEAM fields. One of the goals of CEISMC is to address the lack of equitable access to STEAM education and opportunities for many students today.

Approximately 80 middle and high school students from Gwinnett County, Clayton County, and Atlanta Public Schools came to Georgia Tech to participate in the STEAM Innovation Workshop. The workshop consisted of three sessions focused on specific subjects: computer science and music technology, paper mechatronics, and engineering and robotics.

Effective immediately, the Center for Education Integrating Science, Mathematics and Computing (CEISMC) will become a unit within the Center for 21st Century Universities (C21U).

On March 29, 2019, Dr. Meltem Alemdar, Associate Director for Educational Research & Evaluation for the Georgia Tech Center for Education Integrating Science, Mathematics, and Computing (CEISMC) was featured on "The Story Collider - True Personal Stories About Science" podcast on https://www.storycollider.org.
