This is the wiki-homepage of the Illinois Math and Science Academy Chapter. We are similar to a University chapter; however, we are a high school in Aurora, Illinois.

Ongoing Projects

Small group projects

We are working in small groups on a few separate experiments. Many were started during our intersession week of January 7-11, 2008.

Chapter wide goals

  • Presenting at IL-TCE in February, 2008 (accepted!)
