Mathematics STEM Camp 2021
In July, local high school students came to Texas A&M to take part in the 2021 Mathematics STEM Camp, an immersive week-long exploration of integrated math through science applications and various technologies such as 3D design, microcontroller programing and cryptography.
A total of 50 students attended two separate sessions of the camp this summer. Hosted by the Department of Mathematics and funded by the Texas Workforce Commission Governor’s Merit Program, Mathematics STEM Camp was first held in 2019 but postponed last year due to COVID.
