AIL Val Verde (Adventures in Learning)
AIL is an enrichment program focusing on mathematics and mathematic connections to science and other content areas. Students are provided with opportunities to explore mathematics using non-traditional methods.

ALIAS - Accelerated Literacy Integrating Algebra and Science
A team of UCR professors, middle and high school teachers create inquiry based projects and laboratory/ career experiences for the sequence of science classes. Based on previous analysis of current practices, teachers are selecting supplemental materials, acquiring new content knowledge and developing curricular units that are aligned to the state standards. The overarching aim in these activities is to build student awareness and motivation for advanced courses in science.

COMPASS (Content Opportunities in Mathematics Program for All Secondary Students)
The goal of Project COMPASS is to expose students to the integration of mathematics and technology. The Texas Instrument TI 89 graphing calculator will be used to develop the connections between analytical methods and graphical representations of solutions to problems from higher-level mathematics. Sponsored by the UCR's Alpha Center, students receive instruction in mathematics, in technology, and how to combine both to develop a deeper understanding of critical thinking.

GATE (Girls Achieving Technological Excellence)
Project GATE is a program to introduce middle school girls to technology and technology-based careers in a stimulating and intimate environment. Project GATE familiarizes participants with the computer, the Internet, the Microsoft Office package, and technology based careers. Participants are exposed to positive female role models and learn about women who have contributed significantly to the development of technology. The girls hear directly from speakers currently working in technology-based careers in the Southern California region. As a result of the academic foundation provided by this academy, participants will be more familiar with technology, have more positive attitudes toward technology and hopefully consider technology-based careers.

GEMS (Girls Excelling in Mathematics with Success - Middle School)
Project GEMS is a summer academy of learning for girls entering middle school 7th and 8th grade. The focus is on mathematics as it relates to college and to business. The purpose of the program is to empower girls entering middle school with: knowledge about Mathematics, knowledge about Community Service, knowledge about mentoring and supporting one another.

GEMS High School (Girls Excelling in Mathematics with Success - High School)
Project GEMS is an academy of learning for high schol girls in mathematics-especially mathematics as it relates to college. The purpose is to empower girls with knowledge about mathematics, community service, and mentoring and supporting one another. Project GEMS provides a stimulating environment so that mathematics is seen as interesting, relevant and related to life. As a result of the foundation provided by this academy, these girls will be motivated to take more mathematics courses and consider careers which are mathematically based. Positive attitudes are nurtured as girls learn about community service and are exposed to successful women role models.

Healthy Body-Healthy Mind (A Program for Students in Health, Education and Fitness)
Healthy Body-Healthy Mind is a weeklong summer program for middle school students, which focuses on developing a well-rounded individual by balancing the role of health education, fitness, nutrition and a positive mental attitude. Students will receive instruction in mathematics as it relates to health, physical education as it relates to a healthy lifestyle, self-motivation and character development. The goal of this project is to stimulate an awareness and exploration of self through engaging and motivational activities, which inform and challenge the body and mind.

MATE (Mathematics Academy for Teaching Excellence)
The goal of MATE is to connect the extraordinary resources of the university with the talents and vision of the K-12 educational community in order to address the mathematical needs of our students, teachers and schools. The targeted goal is to increase the number and quality of students who meet UC eligibility requirements; however this targeted opportunity will provide additional programs and benefits for all students, teachers, and the community. The scope of MATE encompasses activities that provide direct student services through academic support and enrichment opportunities, direct teacher development in the area of mathematics, and curriculum realignment of K-12 courses with a pipeline leading to meet UC entrance requirements.

WISE (Wisdom Integrating Sports and Education)
Project WISE is a weeklong summer program for middle school students which focuses on developing a well-rounded individual by balancing the role of academics, fitness and a positive mental attitude. Project WISE brings mathematics together with physical and mental fitness. Participants must have a positive mental attitude and a willingness to engage in a variety of hands-on activities. Mathematics and writing will be the primary academic courses and the physical fitness portion will involve weight training, cardio vascular fitness, nutrition and team sports.
