Gifted and Talented Education (GATE)

Join us at the Neuroscience Fair! Looking for ways to challenge and inspire your academically advanced student? Stop by the GATE booth to learn about Michigan State University’s Gifted and Talented Education programs for students in grades 4 and up. Whether you're curious about accelerated math, humanities, foreign languages, or hands-on summer experiences, GATE offers differentiated learning pathways designed to meet gifted students where they are. Representatives will be available to answer questions about academic year programs, summer camps, testing and placement, and how to get started. From middle school enrichment to high school acceleration, GATE helps families navigate options that support deep learning, creativity, and growth. Come explore what’s possible!
