Eligibility

Girls Talk Math is available to rising 9th through 12th graders who are interested in exploring challenging math problems that go beyond the high school curriculum.

The Basics

Girls Talk Math is a two-week-long day camp that is free for all attendees.

Group Projects

Campers will divide into groups of four or five to complete several projects throughout the two weeks. Each group will:

1. Work independently through a problem set on an advanced STEM topic usually not encountered until college or even graduate school.
2. Write a blog post or give a presentation about the topic learned in the problem set.
3. Research a mathematician from a marginalized group whose work is related to the topic covered in the problem set.
4. Write and record a podcast about their mathematician’s life and work and how it relates to the topic the students learned at camp.

Structure and Activities

There will be time for group work every day with several other activities interspersed throughout the two weeks. These activities vary from location to location and include short lectures on the various topics campers are studying, professional and student panels, How To Make a Podcast, Growth Mindset, Scratch Workshop, and Makey Makey studio time.
