Indigenous Math Camp

June 23, 2024 - June 28, 2024

The Indigenous Math Camp is a new camp that will run this coming summer at Dalhousie’s department of Mathematics and Statistics. The premise is to give indigenous Nova junior high students a real university experience mathematics and open up the doorway to careers in STEM. The campers will stay in Dalhousie residences. The campers are br two groups that change between the Mathematics sessions and the Coding sessions each day. The two teaching teams (one for Math and one for Coding) will ideally pair a bla teacher with a faculty member. A puzzle-based approach is proposed for the Math sessions, while the Coding sessions cover Scratch, a programming environment suitable for The curricula for both sessions will be co-developed by indigenous educators as well as faculty from Dalhousie University, with input from the Alliance of Indigenous Math Circles.
