BEYOND THE CLASSROOMVIRTUAL SUMMER CAMP 2020The Ohio State University Department of Mathematics is offering a free virtual summer camp called Open Beyond the Classroom (BTC). This non-residential, self-paced, summer program is open to students of all ages, parents, grandparents, and everyone else! Beyond the Classroom invites virtual campers to explore and experiment with mathematics through engaging activities in a non-traditional environment. Virtual campers will be able to build confidence in and develop their math abilities while expressing their creativity. Emphasis is placed on learning skills and ideas that, in practice, allow for discovery. Beyond the Classroom 2020, virtual summer camp topic is Polyforms and Polytopes in Art, which touches on geometry and its relation with art and presenting problems close to what mathematicians work on. There won't be any video calls or synchronized sessions. Support and feedback will be provided through a forum on the learning platform. BTC will take place Aug. 3-7, and registration will open on July 27. Email outreach@math.osu.edu or visit the Beyond the Classroom website for more information.
