What do the Arts and Science have in common? Both encourage creativity and discovery! How are dance and music used in medicine? What does virtual reality have to do with chemistry? The Gator CREATES program shows students how fascinating science topics integrate with the arts and creative expression in order to solve real-world problems. Learn about the physics principles behind light and the use of light in photography. Discover Florida’s environment and ecology as well as the artists that paint them. Find what topics interest you and use your creativity to share it with others!
Research Immersion in Science and Engineering introduces students to the iterative cycle of innovations in science and engineering. Students visit active research laboratories and facilities, attend discussions highlighting current research at UF, and participate in hands-on activities and experiments with leading UF research faculty and graduate students. A culminating group project encourages collaborative learning, synthesis of ideas and technologies learned at UF, and the development of new project ideas.
