This free program provides a rigorous, college-level mathematical experience at Boston University, specifically designed to support Massachusetts students with limited prior access to advanced math enrichment.
The PROMYS Pathways Summer Program is a free, four-week intensive mathematics program hosted at Boston University's Center for Computing and Data Sciences. It offers rigorous mathematical exploration and critical thinking opportunities for Massachusetts students in 8th grade through high school, particularly those with limited extracurricular math enrichment. The program aims to ignite curiosity and foster critical thinking through engaging activities and collaborative projects. Students delve into advanced mathematics on a university campus, empowering them to deepen their understanding of mathematics and build a strong foundation for future success. The curriculum emphasizes mathematical exploration, problem-solving skills, and the development of mathematical proofs, rather than rote memorization or competition training. Participants engage with specially designed problem sets and receive mentorship from experienced educators, including teachers, PROMYS for Teachers alumni, and graduate students.
Each weekday, students engage in approximately six hours of collaborative problem-solving, field trips, and special activities, with a focus on working through specially designed problem sets that emphasize mathematical exploration.
The program is ideal for Massachusetts students in 8th grade through high school who are motivated to learn mathematics, excited about collaborative problem-solving, and might not otherwise have access to extracurricular mathematical opportunities.
