The Ivy Tech Community College Upward Bound program has won an additional $39,985 grant for the 2018-2019 year to give our students learning opportunities in math and computer science.
To do this, we are partnering with Ball State’s Center for Information and Communication Sciences (CICS), and its Center for Emerging Media, Design, and Development (EMDD).
What does this mean for me?
  • CS Workshops: Upward Bound will begin offering Computer Science workshops and field trips in November of 2018 and continue offering them through the end of the school year.
    • Technology is important for ALL students these days, so all students are expected to attend these, even if they don’t plan to pursue a career in tech.
  • Chicago Spring Break Merit Trip: Students will have the opportunity to compete for one of 12 spots on our Spring Break trip to Chicago, which will be computer-science themed — but will also include lots of fun Chicago destinations and great local food.
  • Summer Tech Classes: EMDD and CICS will be teaching weekly tech classes as part of our Summer Academy, and students will get to choose between two areas of interest:
    • UX Design and Development
    • Emerging Media and Storytelling
  • End-of-Summer Merit Trip to Washington, DC: Students who participate in the full summer program can earn a spot on our end-of-summer merit trip through their grades, attendance, and behavior.
