BEAM Discovery is a completely free, immersive five-week program that provides advanced mathematics enrichment and ongoing support through college for talented students from low-income and historically marginalized communities.
BEAM Discovery is a free, five-week day camp for rising seventh graders that focuses on developing mathematical thinking and problem-solving skills. Students engage in challenging math classes, choosing from various topics like Logical Reasoning, Math Fundamentals, Math Team Strategies, and Applied Mathematics. Beyond classroom learning, participants have dedicated "Open Math Time" to work on problem sets, explore challenges like the 100 Problem Challenge, delve into math books, or try coding. The program also incorporates a variety of recreational activities such as sports (basketball, soccer, frisbee), arts & crafts (origami, tie-dying), board games (chess, Dominion), dance, and optional field trips to places like WNBA games or arcades. The aim is to foster a love for math, build confidence, and introduce students to advanced mathematical concepts in a supportive community environment, preparing them for future STEM opportunities and college applications.
A typical day at BEAM Discovery includes morning classes, an hour of "Open Math Time" for independent or group math exploration, activities like sports or arts and crafts, and lunch, with the afternoon often repeating the class and open math time structure.
This program is ideal for rising sixth graders who enjoy math, like solving puzzles, and are eager to explore advanced mathematical concepts in a challenging yet supportive environment.
