GirlsGetMath@ICERM invites 20-25 students to explore the mathematical sciences in an open and encouraging setting. Hands-on activities, interactive lectures, and daily computer labs are led by accomplished professional faculty who are enthusiastic about serving as scientific mentors and discussing a variety of careers that utilize a mathematical background. Potential topics include cryptography, the mathematics of voting, image processing, prime numbers and factoring, and fractals. 

The goals of the program are: 

The faculty organizers (Amalia Culiuc/Georgia Tech, Katharine Ott/Bates College and Ulrica Wilson/Morehouse College), will be joined by undergraduate and graduate students who will serve as teaching fellows in the program. Two GirlsGetMath alumni** will be chosen to assist during the program as well.  

To Apply as a Participant: 

Applicants will need to enter their letter writer's name and email into the MathPrograms.org system and check the box that says "email notify writer on submit"; this will generate an automated email request to the letter-writer with further instructions for writing and uploading their letter. Applicants must also upload a one-page personal statement about why they want to attend the GirlsGetMath@ICERM program.

ICERM is only accepting volunteer assistant applications from 2018 GGM alumni. Alumni are required to submit a one-page personal statement explaining why they wish to return as a volunteer. No teacher reference is required for alumnae volunteers, so the reference requirement section of the application can be ignored.

Applications received by the original May 20th deadline will receive priority review. Applications will remain open through the end of May, or until all positions are filled, whichever comes first. 

The faculty organizers will begin reviewing applications immediately after the deadline. All applicants can expect to hear about their status in early June.
