The Center for Education Integrating Science, Mathematics and Computing (CEISMC) is a unit of the College of Lifetime Learning at Georgia Tech. Since 1991, CEISMC has served as the primary connection point between Georgia Tech and the pre-collegiate education communities. 

Annually, CEISMC programs impact more than 62,000 students and 3,500 teachers in over 99 school districts throughout the state of Georgia. CEISMC works closely with public and private stakeholders to expand the reach of the Institute’s STEM education efforts in urban communities near Georgia Tech as well as those in rural school districts throughout the state of Georgia.

CEISMC provides inclusive and inspiring STEM/STEAM enrichment experiences in classroom and out-of-school settings. CEISMC develops an extensive array of research and implementation programs focused on multiple dimensions of STEM educational reform. CEISMC offers teacher professional development focused on innovative curricula and evidence-based practices in fields such as STEM with arts and music integration, computer science, robotics, invention and entrepreneurship.

These opportunities and initiatives are achieved through school and community outreach and local and sustainable partnerships that foster student success and workforce development.
