Intentions

The intention of this camp is to share the amazing connection between math class and the real world.  Too often even math teaches can’t tell you why you should learn a particular set of math skills, Adam can.  Mathematics were not invented by nerdy know-it-alls just to make themselves feel better.  Mathematics was invented to explain the world.  It was invented to give structure to the patterns and ‘chaos’ that is observed in the world around us. It was invented to help organize pattern recognition and communicate these ideas to other people who speak the language.

The most important skill needed to envision the motion of the props is imagination.  This is exactly the same skill needed to be successful in mathematics.  Students will learn to use their imagination in coordination with their bodies and their mind in productive problem solving situations while having fun and learning to explore the world through the lens of a critical eye trained by convention.
