“However, with many activities to juggle it can be difficult to commit to out-ofschool
programs that may last weeks or longer. The Accelerated Weekend
Experience, conducted by the Center for Talent Development, is an excellent
option and we are very pleased to make this opportunity available.”
“Students that attend AWE programs describe the experience as genuinely
awesome,” says Jamie Guess of the Center for Talent Development. “They are
able to immerse themselves in a subject of interest. Our instructors are
commonly practitioners who work professionally in the subject area they are
teaching. Kids participate in real-life activities they would have little exposure to
otherwise.”
