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.

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. IMSAs 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.
