Summer Algebra Enrichment Program
Summer Algebra Enrichment Program
For Rising 8th through 11th Graders
The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga College of Engineering and Computer Science and University of Tennessee, Knoxville Tickle College of Engineering is pleased to offer a new Summer Algebra Enrichment Program. This program will provide a great opportunity for students who struggled in Algebra during the school year to strengthen skills in this foundational subject.
This two-week program will combine remediation sessions in Algebra I with on-campus experiences to give students the opportunity to experience STEM in a whole new way. A typical daily schedule will include Algebra instruction in the morning with mentoring sessions, college readiness programming, and STEM activities in the afternoon. During mentoring blocks, participants will work with a mentor who will help students build their motivation and self-efficacy.
