Applications for Google’s Computer Science Summer Institute (CSSI) open NOW! To apply, complete the application on g.co/cssi. Don’t forget to complete the short essay questions in the application and attach your transcript.
As a friendly reminder, CSSI is an online, four-week introduction to computer science (CS) for rising first year college students with a passion for technology — especially students who identify with groups that have been historically marginalized in the field. CSSI seeks to inspire the tech leaders and innovators of tomorrow and build self confidence, agency, and efficacy. Students will learn computer science fundamentals, participate in workshops to promote self-care, identity, career, and skill development, and build community with peers and industry professionals.
CSSI is July 12-August 5, 2022 from 9am-1pm in your local timezone. To apply and find more information like eligibility requirements, please visit cssi with any questions.

You & Your Students Are Invited to the 2nd AnnualChicago Cubs STEAM Education ProgramSTEAM Fair!
Hello Chicago Educators,
Horizon Therapeutics is proud to partner with the Chicago Cubs and Science of Sport to host the second annual Chicago Cubs STEAM Fair which is a program designed to inspire and engage the whole family using STEAM and sports! Students entering grades 6-12 will have the opportunity to present their STEAM projects to attendees and judges at Wrigley Field. Attendees will also enjoy interactive exhibits connecting STEAM using baseball examples and cheer the participating students on during the awards ceremony.
STEAM Education Program Description
The Chicago Cubs STEAM Education Program is an educational program that teaches STEM concepts through baseball and softball examples. Students will explore subjects of math, physics, kinesiology, health and more- all while studying real-life Chicago Cubs scenarios, and observing and playing the game.
This program was created by answering the question, "How Can Baseball Help?" and was designed by curriculum developers in collaboration with educators in our region. All lessons meet current Chicago K-12 Learning Standards. The program is suited for grades 6-12, ideally, and can be incorporated into PE, Math, or Science classes. It is adaptable to other grade levels and can be used as an after school or community program.
(students submitting projects can register for the “STEAM Fair Participant” ticket)
Questions? Contact Carly Stevens – carly
Benefits of the Program for Teachers and Students
Increase student/youth understanding of Science, Technology, Engineering and Math concepts in an accessible format, using baseball, softball, and the Chicago Cubs as the subject matter.
Additional opportunity to cement STEM understanding in relatable concepts
Participants of the STEAM project contest will receive:
An exclusive week-long summer camp opportunity held at Wrigley Field!
2 tickets to the May 17th Cubs game (for the first 100 participants)
In-game recognition at the May 17th game
Please reach out with any questions or head to the event page for more information! And don’t forget to spread the word!
