The Department of Mathematics and Statistics is hosting the 2023 CAMP for Algorithmic Mathematical Play on July 24-28, 2023. Our building, SMLC,  will become alive with lots of youngsters, adults and math models on the SMLC atrium area, classrooms and seminar rooms. 

Campersand is a summer vacation for math kids organized by grownup math kids. They know that these children are capable of incredible things and they need an environment where they have real peers, where there are no intellectual limits, and where they are still allowed to be kids. Founded by mathematicians and parents, this residential camp helps these mathy kids explore mathematics, the foundations of computer science, and more. The local organizer is Anita Chou (Camp Director). Participants and their families will be staying on UNM dorms for the week

This year Campersand offered several scholarships to winners of the UNM-PNM Statewide Math Competition  to attend the summer program. Our own Statistics Professor and Director of the UNM-PNM Math Contest, James Degnan, will be one of the instructors in the summer camp. 

Please welcome them is a really nice program!
