Center for P-20 Engagement

Collaborate. Innovate. Learn.

NIU's Center for P-20 Engagement brings together partners from NIU and across the region in mutually beneficial relationships to increase educational success. Across the continuum from preschool (P) to graduate school and lifelong learning (20), our activities foster innovation in schools and communities through hands-on activities for kids, educators and families; professional development for teachers; and regional networking to improve college and career readiness.

  • NIU STEAM sparks curiosity, creativity, collaboration and critical thinking in science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics.
  • Illinois Migrant Education Program provides supplementary educational services to children ages 3-21 and families of migrant farmworkers while they are in Illinois.
  • Career Technical Education develops and enhances programs for Illinois K-12 schools, equipping students with the industry-relevant knowledge, skills and competencies to succeed in a rapidly evolving workforce.
