Event Title: Math & Summer Camp at Urbana Middle School (UMS), in partnership with POETS
Location: UMS
Date: June 14th, 2016
Members of ENVISION visited UMS to share a few more STEM activities with the students. The 6th & 7th graders made solar ovens out of pizza boxes and roasted marshmallows and hot dogs. The 8th graders used a polyhedra geometry kit to learn about Euler’s formula, surface area, and volume. The 8th graders then applied these concepts by making origami.
