Mathematical Exploration Overview

The Mathematical Exploration Summer Institute is a one-week day program for high school students who are interested in mathematical exploration that goes beyond the high school curriculum. The program will offer hands-on activities, group work, and lectures given by local professors at UCF. Participants will learn about exciting mathematics, discovering new arguments, and explaining insights to their peers. Throughout the program, not only will you engage in deep exploration of mathematics and develop as a mathematician, but you will be immersed in a community of others who share your mathematical talent and curiosity.

Program Dates: July 27-31, 2026 (Summer 2027 dates will be announced in January)
