Celebrating Another Year of Learning

A hieroglyphics puzzle -- with candy bars -- University of Chicago.

This student is working on a problem written for the North American Computational Linguistics Olympiad.

Puzzles aren’t the only unusual thing our students learned about in 2013.

At Rice Splash, some learned fashion design.

At Stanford Splash, some learned about cancer imaging.

At Yale Splash, some learned about urban beekeeping.

At Duke Splash, some learned how to build a computer.

Your gifts help make this learning possible -- by allowing us to assist our volunteer leadership, by empowering programs to give fee waivers and travel subsidies to students, and by helping us support and maintain our custom-built software that allows students to register for our programs.

Please make a year-end gift to Learning Unlimited today.
