Numberphiles Math Camp
July 18 - 22, 2022
Numberphiles is a week-long math day camp for middle school students, hosted by CeMaST. This camp provides a stimulating and supportive environment for young people to develop their mathematical ability and interest. Participants solve exciting mathematics problems, interact with peers who share an interest in mathematics, and work with college students who are earning their degrees from Illinois State University. Participants will see the creative, discovery-driven side of mathematics. By showing them some of the ways mathematicians approach problems, this camp hopes to encourage students to have fun and discover how mathematics can be a creative endeavor.
