BEAM Discovery is a completely free, five-week intensive mathematics day camp that provides advanced math education and continuous support through college for students from low-income and historically marginalized communities.
BEAM Discovery (Los Angeles) is a five-week day camp designed for rising 7th graders from low-income and historically marginalized communities who demonstrate potential and interest in mathematics. The program aims to deepen students' problem-solving and mathematical reasoning skills, foster a love for math, and build a supportive community among peers. Students engage in approximately 90 hours of math instruction, choosing from a variety of classes such as Logic, Math Fundamentals, Math Team Strategies, and Applied Math. Beyond structured classes, participants have 'Open Math Time' to work on problem sets, explore challenges like the '100 Problem Challenge,' and delve into math books or coding websites. The camp also incorporates a wide range of recreational activities, including sports, arts and crafts, board games, and optional field trips, to encourage social development and community building. The program is completely free, covering all activities, field trips, transportation, and weekday breakfast and lunch.
A typical day at BEAM Discovery starts with breakfast, followed by morning classes where students choose their topics. After class, there's an hour of 'Open Math Time' for independent or group math work, followed by various activities like sports, board games, or arts and crafts, and then lunch. The afternoon often mirrors the morning with another class, open math time, and activities, sometimes including special events like team-based math competitions.
This program is best for rising 7th graders from low-income and historically marginalized communities in Los Angeles who enjoy math, like solving puzzles, and are eager to explore advanced mathematical concepts in a challenging yet supportive environment.
