The Ohio State University Department of Mathematics offers a week-long virtual summer camp for middle and high school students.
Beyond the Classroom, invites virtual campers to explore mathematics through engaging activities in a nontraditional environment. Virtual campers will be able to build confidence in their math and programming abilities and develop a deeper understanding of a variety of topics, including mathematical and algorithmic reasoning and problem solving skills. Campers are challenged with activities designed to demonstrate the importance of math and programming skills in the current age of technology and advancement. Emphasis is placed on learning skills and ideas that, in practice, allow for discovery.
In 2021, the topic of the camp is Math Magic!
Dates:
High school – July 7 to 11
Middle school – July 21 to 25
Cost: $22 (financial aid available)

Thanks to a grant from the Ohio 4-H Foundation, we are able to offer “Experience 4-H at Home” kits. Throughout 2021, we will offer 4 different kits, based on each of the H’s in 4-H. The next kit will be all about the 2nd H, HEART.
The kits are geared toward Cloverbud age.
The kits will include the activities to complete and the majority of the supplies needed.
Space is limited.
I will send an email confirmation once we reach our capacity. When kits are ready for pickup, I ask that they are picked up within 2 weeks. Otherwise, we will open to the waitlist.
Thank you!
