At SigmaCamp, students spend one week (August 10-17, 2024) with other talented campers exploring advanced math and science through our academic program and creating lasting memories with the other students through various non-academic activities. They are guided by graduate students and are taught by leading professors and scientists from top institutions such as MIT, Yale, Stony Brook University, Princeton, Stanford, and many other universities.
Academic program
SigmaCamp is a multidisciplinary program that covers topics in advanced Math, Computer Science, theoretical and experimental Physics, Biology, Chemistry, Engineering, and robotics. Starting with the first Semilab and a Lecture in the morning, followed by the second Semilab in the afternoon, and a variety of Workshops in the evening, a camper’s day is filled with a lot of new knowledge and discoveries.
Faculty at SigmaCamp 2024
Every year, around 25 scientists from top U.S. Universities and Research Centers come to our summer camps to share their knowledge and passion for math and science with campers. Several guest speakers visit the camp daily as part of our Guest Lectures Program.
