This July, UGA Summer Academy launched the Summer Academy Roadshow at the UGA Tifton campus, bringing hands-on learning opportunities closer to home for South Georgia students.

Read more about the inaugural Summer Academy Roadshow and the impact it's having on Georgia's next generation of learners:

Bringing educational opportunities to students where they are. 📍🐾

This summer, 33 middle and high school students gathered on the UGA Tifton Campus for the very first Summer Academy Roadshow!

For 25 years, Summer Academy has inspired curiosity and future career paths. By bringing hands-on learning directly to local communities, we're helping break down geographic barriers to higher education and inspiring Georgia’s future workforce.

Instead of asking South Georgia students to travel to Athens, the Georgia Center brought the University of Georgia experience directly to them. Campers dissected pig hearts in Mini-Medical School Summer Academy, built robots in Robotics camp, tested mobility tech, and connected with real-world healthcare and STEM mentors.

Because when opportunity meets students where they are, there’s no limit to where they can go.

Want to help us bring this experience to even more future leaders across Georgia? Support hands-on learning by donating today: https://gail.uga.edu/commit?search=90112000&utm_source=socialmedia&utm_medium=facebook&utm_campaign=promotion
