GirlsGetMath
Since 2014, GirlsGetMath@ICERM is a five-day non-residential program open to 20-25 high school students who will be entering the 10th or 11th grade. The program occurs at Brown University’s Institute for Computational and Experimental Research in Mathematics (ICERM).
I worked to prepare the GirlsGetMath curriculum for portability to other program sites. The curriculum is available to high school STEM teachers looking for challenging material for their students, and to college or university faculty members interested in replicating a GirlsGetMath program at their institutions. One can see some sample materials and request access through the ICERM website portal.
In summer 2019, ICERM hosted a GirlsGetMath Train-the-Trainer program (sponsored by JetBlue). Multiple faculty from other institutions who attended the Train-the-Trainer program, and former TAs and co-organizers of GirlsGetMath@ICERM, have now started their own programs.
