program Description

Menezes Challenge PRIMES Circle is a free after-school math enrichment program for talented high school students living within commuting distance from Boston.

PRIMES Circle provides a friendly environment for high school students to learn about mathematics beyond the traditional high school curriculum. We strongly encourage students from underserved populations to apply.

Circle Scholars work from February through May with their MIT mentors, meet other talented students from the community, study exciting topics in mathematics like knot theory, game theory, and group theory, and write and present an expository paper.
