"Problem of the Month” (POM) is a free online competition in six different subjects that is open to everyone who is in 10th grade or younger, regardless of what state or country they live in. The goal of the POM contest is to stimulate inquisitive minds and cultivate interest in science and math.
Winners of the POM will get prizes, will be accepted to SigmaCamp or SigmaWest without solving the Qualification Quiz (QQ), and will be awarded during the camp.
"This is an absolutely outstanding program! I recommend it to everyone and am so grateful to be a part of SigmaCamp this summer! The community is one of a kind and the science is very hands-on."
The 2025 Problem of the Month (POM) season is open, and the September problems have been released!

SigmaCamp, SigmaNext, and SigmaWest are one-week sleepaway math and science summer camps. Our programs offer middle and high school students (ages 12 to 17) a unique opportunity to dive deeper into STEM topics with professors and researchers from MIT, Yale, Stony Brook University, Princeton, Stanford, and many other universities!
Our goal is to ensure that every qualified applicant can attend our camps regardless of financial circumstances. Admission to our programs is need-blind—applying for financial aid has no impact on admission decisions.
"Campers have developed friendships that last during the school year. Starting in October, they start already to plan their SigmaCamp for the next summer."
SigmaCamp would not be possible without the help of our sponsors. Their generosity allows us to buy new supplies for the experiments we do with students and provide fellowships for students who otherwise would not be able to attend SigmaCamp.
