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
- Work independently through a problem set on an advanced mathematics topic usually not encountered until college or even graduate school.
- Write a Blog Post about the mathematics learned in the problem set.
- Research a female mathematician whose work is related to the topic covered in the problem set.
- Write and record a podcast about their mathematician’s life and work and how it relates to the work the students did 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.
