Thank you to our funders!

The 2024 school is funded by Arbic’s National Science Foundation grant OCE-1851164 as well as Arbic’s Office of Naval Research Grant #N00014-22-1-2570. We received some additional funding from University of Michigan Professor Adam Simon’s discretionary funds. Immediate funding support for the school came from Yaba Tech, and all three hosting institutions helped tremendously with in-kind and other support. We also wish to acknowledge several instructors who used some of their own individual funding to travel to the school.
