Fort Hays State University’s Math and Science Education
Institute invites kids to play with water and “Make a Splash with Math” during
the FHSU Mathematics Camp, June 18 to June 21.
The Mathematics Camp, held in Rarick Hall on campus, will
help kids entering grades five through seven become more familiar and confident
in their math foundations. By using basic math skills, kids can contribute to
the conception, design and creation of a water park.
Starting at 8 a.m., kids will interact with peers and
instructors on campus who will help them grow confident in their use of math by
introducing them to the construction of water parks, from water slides to
concession stands.
The camp will end at noon each day. At the end of the
four-day program, the children will celebrate their success by playing
exciting, water-based games.
The deadline to register for this fun water experience is
June 6, 2012. While registration costs $60 per child, need-based financial
assistance is available upon request. Space is limited to 30 children. Online
registration is available at www.fhsu.edu/smei/camps
under 2012 Art Camp.
