Summer Academy Faculty

SEPUP is issue based which means that every unit starts with a real-life focus that shows students why science is important and then they learn that science while keeping that real life issue in mind. At the end of that unit, they return to that real-world issue and are able to answer it using the science they've learned throughout the unit.
