Do any of you remember the GATE program? Did you participate?

I was wondering if any of you remember the GATE program and if so, what your experience was like?

Did you guys know it was and still is an experiment to find out if there are kids out there with psychic abilities?

[Staximus]

They wanted to put me in that but my mom said no. She thought there wasn't enough benefit to justify double the homework, at least that's what she told me. I didn't know it was to find psychic kids but I'm a little bit psychic.

I've heard of it. There are even conspiracy theories about it being a government brain washing program.

I remember GATE 😊 I was in it in elementary and middle school. For us it was just advanced classes, logic puzzles, creative writing, math games, field trips to museums, that kind of thing.

The “psychic abilities experiment” idea is more of an internet conspiracy than reality. GATE was about identifying academically advanced kids, not ESP. My experience was nerdy, fun, and a bit isolating, but nothing paranormal 🧠✨

Its not an conspiracy theory, its in black and white, written in released documents of the CIA.

Nope , I just had English , Math , and science. Apparently , not many did. Most graduates can't read better than 6th grade level

[White_Widow]

Sadly, also true.

No, but I should have. Actually, I don't recall such a program in Windsor as a lad.

[NathanDavis]

I don't know of it

What is that?
