While our summer sessions have just come to a successful close, the team at the Center for Mathematics, Science, and Engineering Education (CMSEE) is already looking ahead. We are officially shifting gears to prepare an engaging lineup of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics activities for the upcoming Fall and Spring semesters.

Central to our mission is providing regular, high-quality opportunities for local youth to interact with university-tested STEM concepts. To make this happen, we rely on the strength of campus and community collaborations that share our dedication to early education and student success.

Exciting Partnerships on the Horizon:
As we design our upcoming schedules, we are thrilled to highlight two core pathways that will connect young learners with UNLV this next academic year:

• The Saturday STEM Program: Our signature five-week Fall and Spring series will return. These sessions offer elementary and middle school students model-based, inquiry experiences built around a major integrated STEM theme. It remains a cornerstone of our research-to-practice model, providing participants with a space to explore deep scientific concepts in a structured weekend format. Learn more about the framework on the CMSEE Saturday STEM Program Page.
  
• UNLV Young Rebels Integration: We are proud to align our outreach efforts alongside the UNLV Young Rebels Program. By working together with early outreach initiatives on campus, we can expand our reach to even more future innovators across the valley, introducing them to the possibilities of higher education and STEM careers early in their learning journeys.

Behind the Scenes:

Our faculty and UNLV student mentors are busy evaluating data from our past cohorts, refining curriculum models, and ensuring our upcoming activities reflect the latest evidence-based teaching practices. This preparation ensures that when registration opens, we are ready to deliver the best possible experiential learning environment for both our university leaders and the K-8 students they mentor.

Stay tuned for official theme announcements, dates, and schedule details in the coming months!
