What is a maths camp?

Each camp usually consists of an initial planning week for volunteers, and then a second week of activities for students. The main idea is to come together in shared learning and enjoyment, exploring rich ideas that go far beyond what is traditionally taught in schools.

At the maths camp every day is packed full of great activities. We typically start around 8am with problems and puzzles, before moving on to the activities, games and workshops that allow students to discover for themselves the incredible applications of maths in the real world. The day finishes around 9pm, at which point the students are encouraged to share their reflections with each other and in their daily journals.

The math camps are prepared by the combined effortss of SAMI and different affircan universities. This camps take place in Kenya, Ghana, Togo, Benin, Rwanda, Ethiopia and Uganda.Between July and December.
