We invite nine high school students and three teachers around the Lowcountry area to apply to our week-long, non-residential Math Research Experience this summer! We are looking for students and teachers excited about solving new math problems.
The program runs June 17-21, 2024 at The Citadel. Students will be supported to present their findings at the 2025 South Carolina Junior Academy of Sciences annual meeting. Teachers will be supported to attend the meeting.
This camp is partially supported by The Citadel Foundation.
Worried that you're unprepared? Don't be! We'll teach you what you need to know.
