Overview

Get ready for a week of artistic adventures and creative calculations! Campers will learn about renowned female artists as the inspiration for mathematical discovery. Immerse yourself in the infinity rooms of Yayoi Kusama, create a Frida Kahlo-inspired self-portrait using ratio and fractions, draw larger-than-life flowers as you multiply with Georgia O'Keeffe, and design geometric wonders inspired by Zaha Hadid. Math camp has never been so artsy!

Additional Information

Girls Rock Math offers a week of projects and mathematical experiences, as opposed to directed lessons, worksheets, quizzes and tests. Each activity is designed to stretch campers' concept of math and encourage in each girl a deeper relationship with these topics. By offering experiential education, our camp contributes to meaningful learning experiences for each child. As an arts-based math camp, projects such as fashion designing, creating codes and exploring the beauty of numbers in nature inspire creativity as they explore mathematical concepts. As campers work in their small groups throughout the day, combining shared knowledge to make sense of new games, numbers, and ideas, girls learn the reward of collaboration. When we tackle big ideas such as infinity, Fibonacci numbers, career possiblities, or the gender gap in STEM, we are pushing these concepts to their limits and seeing what happens when we challenge them. In doing so, Girls Rock Math fosters in each camper critical thinking. What's more, when campers get a chance to discuss these ideas with their teachers, peers, and counselors in both large and smaller settings, campers learn the importance and benefit of communication. Our primary program is for children entering first through third grade. You'll teach children early math skills such as adding, subtracting, and measurement while painting, creating collages, doing engineering design challenges, and more!
