Math Camps & Other Programs
Attention GMP students!
Have you attended one of these, or another interesting camp or program? Let us know so we can share information with your fellow students.
Local
- Math Circle at Canisius College
This is a club for 5th though 12th graders who love math that meets once a week after school. - Tinker
This summer engineering camp for high school girls was founded by a GMP graduate and has been enjoyed by some of our students. - Summer STEM Camps for Children
This is an offering of Niagara University that several of our students have liked. - UBGenCyber Camp
This is a cybersecurity camp that has been offered at UB in June. One GMP student who attended enjoyed the projects that were tailored to ability level. - WNY STEM
This is an organization that offers several opportunities. One of our students enjoyed the 'Hand to Hand' summer camp where students designed and 3D-printed hands for people with disabilities. - UB Engineering Camps
Other camps offered through the school of computer science and engineering include CSExplore, UB/National Grid Leadership Camp, Engineering Design Camp and National Summer Transportation Institute.
Online
- Camp Euclid
We have a GMP student who has done both the summer camp and the school year program. This program is online and involves collaborating on problems with a small group of 13-19 year old students. Our student felt well prepared by GMP and strongly endorsed this camp for those who like to work on challenging open problems. The mentors are mathematicians who sometimes tie the problems to their own research.
Online Programs for Pre-GMP Students
- IMACS
The Institute for Mathematics and Computer Science (IMACS), founded in 1993, gives talented students a competitive edge by teaching them how to think critically using logic and reasoning. The online IMACS Math Enrichment program (grades K-6) incorporates games, stories, and logic puzzles to make the weekly instructor-led classes fun and engaging. Students progress through five levels of meticulously designed lessons, learning advanced concepts often overlooked in traditional math classes such as sets, relations, and functions. IMACS students are grouped by ability, not age, and so students will be free to reach their full potential. IMACS serves students from across the United States and around the world. Parents with elementary school children may register for a free math enrichment placement class. - John Hopkins Center for Talented Youth
Summer Camps Outside of Buffalo
- Awesome Math Summer Program
- Canada/USA Math Camp
- MathILy
- MathPath
- Microsoft High Tech Camp
-
PROMYS (Program in Mathematics for Young Scientists) at Boston College
Several GMP students have attended. Admission is highly competitive. Our students have enjoyed it very much, but tell us that this is for students who really want to focus on math as there are fewer social/mixed activities.
