We invite eight high school students and two 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 July 14-18, 2025 at The Citadel. Students will be supported to present their findings at the 2026 South Carolina Junior Academy of Sciences annual meeting. Teachers will be supported to attend the meeting.
Support for the Math Research Experience for Lowcountry High School Students and Teachers is provided by the Mathematical Association of America and the Mary P. Dolciani Halloran Foundation.
Worried that you're unprepared? Don't be! We'll teach you what you need to know.
