At MAD-learn, we’re proud to be a committed partner to GEAR UP programs nationwide, and we’re excited to celebrate National GEAR UP Week (September 22–26, 2025) with a special virtual event!
Join us on Tuesday, September 23rd from 4:00–5:00 PM ET for Level Up with GEAR UP: Bright Ideas in App Development. This engaging, coordinator-centered session will spotlight GEAR UP directors from across the country as they share their MAD-learn experiences, innovative strategies, and the impact of app development on student learning. Attendees will also enjoy Q&A opportunities and leave with practical ideas to inspire creativity and engagement with GEAR UP students.
National GEAR UP Week is all about raising awareness, highlighting student achievements, and rallying support for the life-changing work GEAR UP programs do—helping students pursue their college dreams. We’re honored to stand alongside educators and students in this celebration.
