AFT is an annual summer program that is held on the campus of Georgia State University. 
We seek rising juniors and seniors who are genuinely interested in a career in education, particularly in math or science. AFT also welcomes any college-focused student considering a math or science career focus. Throughout the program, students collaborate with university professors and K-12 teachers to improve their teaching, presentation, and leadership skills.
