Black Educators’ Association – Dalhousie Math Camp

July 7, 2024 - July 12, 2024

The BEA/DAL Math Camp offers African-Nova Scotian junior high school youth, a math-based real university experience, to open doorways to STEM careers. The campers are broken into two groups that change between Mathematics sessions and Coding sessions. Each session has a black high school teacher paired with a university teacher as instructors. A puzzle-based approach is proposed for the Math sessions. In these sessions campers will explore topics like logic puzzles, counting based card tricks, binary numbers & error correcting codes, and the application of algebra to solve puzzles. The Coding sessions cover Scratch, a programming environment suitable for youth.
