Upcoming camps and workshops are listed below.
Math Club
Math Club is a place for like-minded, motivated upper elementary students to come together and experience a fresh, engaging, and challenging approach to math. The format: before each class, students will be asked to watch a short YouTube math video from a widely respected and beloved math channel such as Numberphile, Stand-up Maths, or Vi Hart. We will be selecting videos that cover an unexpected or intriguing mathematical idea which is challenging but accessible. During class, we will unpack the video as a group and then students will engage in hands-on activities that reenact, extend, or challenge the video. Afterward, students will receive practice problems and a difficult challenge problem for students to mull over at home between sessions.
Students can join the Club at any time!
Choose from 2 different days: Sunday Math Club (10:00 - 11:30am every other Sunday) or Monday Math Club (4:00-6:30pm every other Monday, starting January)
For students in grades 5-7.
3D Animation Club
The VISST 3D Animation Club is for elementary school students in grades 5-8 with some basic experience in 3D modeling or animation software. Students will use Blender, a free 3D modeling and animation program, to learn fun and useful modeling and animation tools and techniques. Classes are structured based on what students want to learn. There will be lots of opportunities for students to practice, experiment and collaborate to create their own 3D animated movies with one-on-one attention from their experienced instructor.
