Day 2 in Chicago with our Upward Bound Math Science crew was one for the books! 🎉

Today was packed with adventure as we explored the Griffin Museum of Science and Industry, snapped pictures at the iconic Bean, took in breathtaking views from Skydeck, soared across the city during Flyover Chicago, and wrapped up the evening enjoying the sights and fun at Navy Pier.

Of course, no Chicago trip would be complete without amazing food! We enjoyed lunch at the legendary Ed Debevic's and checked another Chicago classic off the list with delicious deep-dish pizza from the Original Gino's East. 🍕🌆

These students continue to impress us with their curiosity, enthusiasm, and willingness to embrace every new experience. We're making memories, learning together, and having an incredible time exploring one of America's greatest cities. 💙🔬

Day 1 in Chicago is officially in the books, and what a day it was! 🌆🎉
Our UBMS crew hit the ground running with an incredible day of learning and exploring. We traveled back in time at the Field Museum, came face-to-face with amazing marine life at the Shedd Aquarium, checked "eat at the famous Portillo's" off our Chicago bucket list 🌭🍟, and wrapped up the evening with a breathtaking sunset architecture cruise along the Chicago River. 🚤🌅
From dinosaurs to sea lions, hot dogs to historic skyscrapers, today was packed with unforgettable experiences, lots of laughs, and memories our students will carry with them long after this trip is over.
Chicago, you've set the bar high, we can't wait to see what tomorrow brings! 💙🏙️
