We invite high school students and 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 20-24, 2026 at The Citadel. Groups of 3 students and 1 mentor will solve problems in a variety of areas of mathematics, including Fibonacci sequences, number theory, and combinatorics.
Worried that you're unprepared? Don't be! We'll teach you what you need to know.
