Canada/USA Mathcamp: Research in Pairs and Scholarships for Students

加拿大/美国数学夏令营是一个为期五周的密集的数学天才高中生暑期课程。 每年，Mathcamp都会汇集来自美国，加拿大和世界各地的110-120名优秀青少年，并创造一个他们可以“生活和呼吸数学”的环境。 无论是智力和社会，这是一个改变生活的经验，这些学生中的许多人，他们中的大多数人从来没有一个真正的同龄人来之前，数学夏令营。 该计划每年夏天在不同的大学校园举行;从所有专业（从博士后到超级明星研究人员）招募工作数学家参观一周并参与数学教学。 在Mathcamp接触工作的数学家有助于满足学生的智力需求，他们中的许多人在家里没有数学资源来追求他们的兴趣。这个奖项有两个组成部分。 该奖项的第一个组成部分是一个“成对研究”计划，该计划将支持数学合作者对Mathcamp的访问。 除了授课，这些访客将在逗留期间从事研究工作，有两个主要目标：（1）实现研究进展，以及（2）使新数学的生产对我们的学生可见。 该奖项的第二部分为来自目标外展群体的美国学生提供奖学金（女孩，代表性不足的少数民族，以及来自代表性不足的原籍社区，经济弱势背景或表现不佳的学校的学生）。 总的来说，这个奖项的两个组成部分将允许来自目标外展团体的有才华的学生与在Mathcamp从事积极研究的榜样互动。

Canada/USA Mathcamp is an intensive five-week summer program for mathematically talented high school students. Every year, Mathcamp brings together 110-120 exceptional teenagers from the United States, Canada, and around the world, and creates an environment where they can "live and breathe mathematics". Both intellectually and socially, it is a life-changing experience for many of these students, most of whom have never had a true peer group before coming to Mathcamp. The program takes place on a different college campus each summer; working mathematicians are recruited from across all specialties (and ranging from postdocs to superstar researchers) to visit for a week and participate in the mathematics instruction. Access to working mathematicians at Mathcamp helps meet an intellectual need for the students, many of whom do not have the mathematical resources at home to pursue their interests.This award has two components. The first component of the award is a "Research in Pairs" program, which will support visits to Mathcamp by pairs of mathematical collaborators. In addition to teaching a class, these visitors will work on their research during their stay, with two main goals: (1) achieving progress on research, and (2) making the production of new mathematics visible to our students. The second component of the award provides scholarships for U.S. students from target outreach groups (girls, underrepresented minorities, and students from underrepresented communities of origin, economically disadvantaged backgrounds or underperforming schools). Taken together, the two components of this award will allow talented students from target outreach groups to interact with role models engaged in active research at Mathcamp.
