The Conference Educators Program (CEP) continues to grow and thrive in the second year of its reincarnation. We received twice the number of submissions this year and as a result we have an exciting program covering disciplines ranging from design and architecture to mathematics and biology which are organized into parallel K-12 university tracks.
