Curious how illustration tools can enhance the look and feel of learning technologies to better capture attention and support engagement? This session will introduce the fundamentals of Adobe Illustrator, a powerful tool for creating clean, scalable graphics used in educational apps, prototypes, and digital content. You'll learn key design principles and explore how Illustrator’s tools can be used to create effective visual assets for educational tools and experiences. Pizza lunch will be provided.

This summer, Vanderbilt’s Programs for Talented Youth has been selected to host the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation’s Young Scholars Senior Summit, a two-week residential program for 57 high-achieving high school seniors from across the US.

 

As part of the experience, students engage in inquiry-based research and creative projects under the guidance of university mentors. Two members of the LIVE community are serving as course facilitators this year:

 

Vishesh Kumar, PhD, is leading Sensors, Data, and AI in Movement: Creating Sports and Health Technologies to Use the Body

Camille Msall, PhD student, is leading Unlocking the Human Experience: Psychology Research Through Inquiry and Discovery

 

The Senior Summit program will conclude with a poster session on Sunday, July 21, from 1:00–3:00 PM, where students will showcase their final projects. All are welcome to stop by and explore the impressive work these exceptional scholars have developed over the course of the program.

The Jacobs Foundation has announced the 2025 Call for Proposals under their Learning Variability Network Exchange (LEVANTE) initiative, offering up to 1 million in research funding to deepen understanding of how individual variability, group heterogeneity, and contextual variability influence children’s learning and development. LEVANTE brings together researchers from around the world and provides them with a framework to enable them to gather information on how children’s learning varies, within and across individuals, groups, and cultural contexts.

 

Funded projects will collect data from children aged 5-12, using (and potentially supplementing) a common set of measurements including cognitive, emotional, social, and environmental factors that influence and contribute to individual differences in learning. This year’s call invites proposals from research labs at higher education institutions or research institutes with expertise in child and youth development, with a special emphasis on internationalisation and projects in underrepresented countries in the Global South.

 

Funding is available for small projects (up to $600,000) and large projects (up to $1,000,000), with a minimum duration of four years

 

Applications are open from 27 June to 19 August, 2025.
