GirlsGetMath@CSU is scheduled for June 5-9, 2023, from approximately 9am – 4:30pm.
GirlsGetMath@CSU is a free five-day, non-residential summer mathematics program that is open to high school students, regardless of gender. Our program is modeled after GirlsGetMath@ICERM at Brown University’s Institute for Computational and Experimental Research in Mathematics.
- GirlsGetMath occurs in an encouraging and inclusive environment that builds students’ confidence in mathematics and other STEM-related fields
- GirlsGetMath expands students’ understanding and knowledge of mathematics through computations and experimentations.
- GirlsGetMath provides expert mathematical training and mentoring.
- GirlsGetMath encourages students to explore mathematical topics such as cryptography, data science, the mathematics of voting, geometry, image processing, prime numbers and factoring, and fractals.
The goals of GirlsGetMath@CSU are:
- to show students that the study of mathematics can be exciting, beautiful, and useful
- to build confidence in students’ mathematical knowledge through engaging and expert mathematical instruction
- to provide an affirming environment that introduces high school students to a variety of career opportunities in which sophisticated mathematical ability plays a key role
- to emphasize the strategic role mathematics plays for success in STEM careers
- to provide students with a support group and expert mentors who are successful undergraduate, graduate students, postdocs, and professionals from the STEM workforce
- to have a positive influence on the way students view their mathematical interest and ability
