The Office of Education Outreach youth programs are designed to provide a quality precollege learning experience. Young students come to the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus environment that promotes children's respect for originality, openness to new perspectives, new academic areas and innovative career choices. We want children to discover self-motivation and responsibility for their own education. Our year-round programming provides new experiences not found in the regular classroom. We hope to provide interest and challenge to the young student with state-of-the-art resources and highly skilled instructors at University of Wisconsin-Madison. Partnerships and collaborations are developed with school districts, community centers and community organizations to provide quality programming. Professional development for educators and administrators is incorporated into precollege programs as well.
