Summer Academy in Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics, 2019

Monday, June 17 - Friday, June 21, 8:00 am - 3:00 pm

The Department of Mathematics at California State University, Fresno in collaboration with San Joaquin Valley Mathematics Project (SJVMP) and Mathematics and Science Teacher Initiative (MSTI) offers a unique opportunity for motivated elementary, middle, and high school students to experience a challenging and enjoyable learning opportunity.

Interested elementary and middle school students are invited to apply for this intensive, fun-filled, learning experience.

• Intensive learning experience through challenging tasks in an enjoyable environment.
• Hands-on learning through fun-filled activities and projects.
• Change the way you think and feel about mathematics and learning.
• Learn to use dynamic mathematical software and other visual creation software to explore mathematical concepts.
• Improve your reasoning and mathematics thinking skills.
• Earn a California State University, Fresno Certificate of Accomplishment.
• Meet new friends, expert teachers and university professors at Fresno State.

Elementary school STEM concepts 
Explore and build models for potential and kinetic energy suitable for ages 9-11; learn key Mathematical concepts such as shapes, dimensions, angles, and area; investigate 3D objects and explore concepts such as volume and surface area through hands-on projects, activities, real-life problems and the use of technology, science, and engineering. Appropriate for grades 4-6.

Middle school STEM concepts
Explore and build models for potential and kinetic energy suitable for ages 11-14; learn key Mathematical concepts such as proportions, perspective, area, volume and surface area congruence and similarity through hands-on projects and activities; solve real-life problems using technology, science, and engineering. Appropriate for grades 6-9.

High school STEM concepts
Learn Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) concepts in more depth through hands-on projects and activities and debates. Students will learn presentation skills and use of mathematical software that will be useful when applying to universities. This is suitable for ages 14-17. This workshop is designed to develop an appreciation of mathematics that students learn in grades 9-12.
