Research Immersion in Science and Engineering

Creative Research Explorations in Arts, Technology, Engineering, and Science

A 1-week residential program
The Research Immersion in Science and Engineering (RISE) program is a University of Florida residential STEAM program exploring the intersections of the Arts, Technology, Engineering, and Science! Daily activities will include discussions, hands-on activities and laboratory experiments, case studies, field trips, and guest talks from UF faculty and graduate students across art and science disciplines. There will also be recreational activities offered during the program (e.g., trivia, game nights, etc.).

What do the Arts and Science have in common? Both encourage creativity and discovery! The Gator CREATES program shows students how fascinating science topics integrate with the arts and creative expression to solve real-world problems. Learn about the physical principles behind light and the use of light in photography. Discover Florida’s environment and ecology as well as the artists that paint them. Build your own virus particles, use virtual reality to learn about chemistry, and more! Find what science topics interest you and use creativity to share what you learn with others!

Important Information: Students must make a commitment to attend and participate in the entire program. Please confirm no other academic, school-related, sports, or family events will conflict with the program dates.

All interested and qualified students are encouraged to apply for RISE: Gator CREATES regardless of ability to pay. Limited need-based scholarships are available for students attending a Florida high school.
