Summer Experiences
Operated by the Department of Mathematics, Computer Science & Statistics
The Department of Mathematics, Computer Science & Statistics operated several summer experiences this summer.
-
CSI Summer Experience (targeted for students entering grades 9-11).
The CSI Summer Experience
was a one week experience that provided an avenue for students to develop
their science and math ability and interest.
Each student had an opportunity to explore science and math
through classroom presentations, hands-on activities, and math and
science demonstrations.
Students studied forensic chemistry with Dr. Mike Pugh, Global
Positioning with Dr. Robert Marande, Computer Forensics with Dr. Scott
Inch, encryption with Dr. John Polhill and carbon dating with Dr. John
Hranitz.

Math
& Science Summer Experience (targeted for students entering grades 6-8).
The Math & Science Summer
Experience was a one week experience that provided an avenue for middle
school students to develop their science and math ability and interest.
Each student had an opportunity to explore science and math
through classroom presentations, hands-on activities, and math and science
demonstrations. Students
rotated each day among three different activities which were 1.5 hours in
length. Students studied computer
programming, mathematical problem solving, engineering and planetary
science.

Math
& Science Summer Experience for Young
Women (targeted for young women entering grades 6-8).
The Math & Science Summer
Experience was a one week experience that provided an avenue for middle
school young women to develop their science and math ability and interest.
Each young woman had an opportunity to explore science and math
through classroom presentations, hands-on activities, and math and science
demonstrations. The young
women rotated each day among three different activities which were 1.5 hours
in length. Students studied
computer programming utilizing Alice Software, mathematical problem solving,
engineering and planetary science.
