This program uniquely blends advanced mathematics with media creation, allowing students to explore challenging STEM problems and communicate their findings through podcasts.
Girls Talk Math at Temple University is a free two-week day camp for high school students designed to make advanced mathematics accessible. Participants work in groups on challenging STEM problem sets that go beyond the typical high school curriculum. A core component of the program involves researching the lives and work of scientists from marginalized groups, fostering an understanding of diverse contributions to STEM. Students then translate their research and mathematical explorations into media projects, specifically by writing and recording podcasts and giving presentations. This process helps campers develop effective communication skills and build confidence in sharing their mathematical understanding. The program aims to create a supportive and inclusive community, encouraging students to see their potential for careers in mathematics.
Campers work in groups on challenging STEM problem sets, research the life and work of a scientist from a marginalized group, and then write and record a podcast about their findings and give a presentation on the STEM topic they studied.
The ideal student is a high schooler entering grades 9-12 with curiosity and enthusiasm for mathematics, regardless of prior academic transcripts or GPA.
