Students entering 7th, 8th or 9th grades
are eligible for Summer Sleuths program

Three problem-based learning sessions offered through IMSA

[MAY 24, 2002]  AURORA — The Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy is now accepting registrations from students for its Summer Sleuths program. Students entering seventh, eighth or ninth grades in the fall of 2002 are eligible to apply. The application deadline is June 15.

In this day camp, students use science, social science and Internet tools to solve a real-world problem. Students will present their solutions to a panel of experts.

Problem-based learning, or PBL, is an educational approach that organizes curriculum and instruction around carefully crafted problematic situations adapted from real-world issues (i.e.: groundwater contamination, air pollution, flood control). Learners gather and apply knowledge from multiple disciplines in their quest for solutions.

The program is available on three separate times: June 24-27 and July 15-18 at Illinois Benedictine University in Lisle and July 22-25 at the Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy in Aurora.

 

[to top of second column in this article]

Information about these workshops can be found at www.imsa.edu/center/pbl/intro.html or contact Deb Gerdes at (630) 907-5957 or dgerdes@imsa.edu.

Located in Aurora, IMSA is a learning enterprise that builds the capacity of students, teachers and policymakers to improve and transform mathematics and science teaching and learning. IMSA’s residential educational program serves Illinois students grades 10 through 12 who are talented in mathematics and science; its professional development center serves schools, educational systems, teachers and students in Illinois and beyond.
