With Project EXCITE, Northwestern University’s Center for Talent Development (CTD) is setting the standard for an effective, research-backed and replicable initiative aimed at closing the minority student achievement gap and increasing minority student representation in advanced high school math and science courses.

To date, typical approaches to this issue have been reactive and geared toward transforming schools and teaching practices. Project EXCITE, on the other hand, is preventative and focused on supplementing school curriculum and instruction. The results? Impressive. The response? Overwhelmingly positive.
