The Illinois Math and Science Academy, a public high school for our state's best and brightest math and science students (yeah, the ones who are guaranteed nothing in the form of an appropriate education K-8. No, I'm not bitter? Do I sound bitter?) is accepting applications for IMSA Fusion, an after school enrichment program for 4-5th graders and 6-8th graders for the 2011-12 school year.The program is designed to
* Maintain or increase students’ interest, involvement and literacy in science and mathematics;
* Enhance the knowledge and skills of teachers in science, mathematics, and technology;
* Stimulate excellence in schools’ science and mathematics programs;
* Help increase access to programming for students who are historically under-resourced in science, mathematics and technology and for all areas of the state.
Our program is committed to working with schools in IMSA's field office regions: Chicago, Metro-East and soon, Rock Island; as well as schools that may have limited STEM resources and, or opportunities for students and teachers.

Thanks to my friend RL Julia for the tip!
Apparently IMSA has a sister school in Israel?! If you've read the book Start-Up Nation, you're probably wondering why we don't just move there. I might be asking myself that same question if I wasn't busy filming episodes of my house hunting show.
