The Carleton Interdisciplinary Science & Math Initiative (CISMI) website has not been significantly updated since 2011. We are preserving the webpages here because they still contain useful ideas and content. But be aware that it may have out of date information.
CISMI was replaced by the Carleton Integrated Math & Science initiative.
