Thank you for expressing your interest in Girls Talk Math, a free two-week day camp designed for 9th through 12th graders who identify as female or an underrepresented gender and have an interest in exploring mathematics. In 2024, the camp will run from July 8th through July 19th, Monday to Friday, from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm. The camp is held in the Department of Mathematics on the Wake Forest campus.  No overnight accommodations will be provided. Girls Talk Math is a day camp, so we will primarily accept applications from students living within a 15-mile radius from the Wake Forest University and attending the following high schools: RJ Reynolds HS, Kingswood HS, Mount Tabor HS, North Forsyth HS, Kennedy HS. 

During the camp, participants will work on challenging math problems related to the work of female mathematicians throughout history. The campers will create a podcast series exploring the lives of these female mathematicians and blog/vlog posts discussing the mathematics they explore at camp. The problems cover math topics beyond the high school curriculum, providing a glimpse into college-level mathematics. There are no GPA or minimum course requirements; we value interest, curiosity and excitement!

Applications should be filled out by the campers, with special attention to the "interest paragraph", which will be considered during acceptance decisions.

For full consideration, we encourage students to apply by April 15th. However, rolling admissions will be made as space allows.
