Workshops:
Elsa Medina and Amelie Schinck-Mikel ran the Cal Poly Math Academy this past summer. The 10th annual Cal Poly Math Academy, directed by Elsa Medina and Amélie Schinck-Mikel, welcomed more than 25 Hispanic students from local high schools to campus this summer. For one week, students solved challenging mathematics problems through hands-on activities.
Students also had the opportunity to explore the campus, heard from inspirational guest speakers in STEM fields, and toured the agricultural and mechanical engineering facilities. The academy, which is in partnership with the Migrant Education Program for the region, aims to inspire students to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields and to recognize and enjoy the beauty of mathematics.
