SUMMARY:CCMS Colloquium: Math as the Gateway for STEM Achievement and Access: The Bridge to Enter Advanced Mathematics (BEAM) Program (Dan Zaharopol\, CEO BEAM)
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Daniel Zaharopol\, Founder of Bridge to Enter Advanced Mathematics (BEAM)\, (AoPSI) The Art of Problem Solving Initiative\, Inc. \nTitle: Math as the Gateway for STEM Achievement and Access: The Bridge to Enter Advanced Mathematics (BEAM) Program \nAbstract: Knowing facts is not enough to drive success in STEM fields: one also needs strong problem solving\, rigorous reasoning\, comfort with abstraction\, and the insight to navigate broad spaces of open problems. However\, before college\, access to challenge and rigor is often limited to those from privileged backgrounds\, relying on paying for special programs or having strong community knowledge to find the right programs. \nHow\, then\, can we enhance access to high-quality preparation in STEM? In this talk\, I will share some reflections on the work to be done\, and how we are approaching that work at Bridge to Enter Advanced Mathematics (BEAM). BEAM creates pathways for students from low-income and historically marginalized communities to become scientists\, mathematicians\, engineers\, and computer scientists. What we’ve seen is clear: many more students can thrive with the right combination of support and access. With a thoughtful approach\, we can make real progress. \nBio: Dan Zaharopol is the Founder and CEO of Bridge to Enter Advanced Mathematics (BEAM). An award-winning teacher and nonprofit entrepreneur\, Dan’s work at BEAM has been featured in the New York Times\, Education Week\, the Notices of the American Mathematical Society\, and the Atlantic Monthly\, among others\, and he’s shared his work through articles and talks in a variety of settings.  But more importantly (at least to him)\, Dan loves math\, sharing math\, and mentoring and supporting students\, and he’s worked with enrichment programs supporting students from all backgrounds across the country. Dan is himself a product of STEM pathways; he received his undergraduate degree in math from MIT and masters’ degrees in both mathematics and teaching mathematics from the University of Illinois

SUMMARY:GEMS February 1st Session
DESCRIPTION:This GEMS session will be facilitated by Professor Qidi Peng and William Wu from Claremont Graduate University.\n\n\nTitle: The Beauty of Fractal Geometry\n\n\n\nAbstract:  We will introduce fractal geometries\, which are described in continuous but nowhere differential functions. We will tell the students where to find these geometries in the nature and how to describe them using mathematical tools\, such as box-counting dimension and self-similarity index. We will host small games to let students feel the beauty of fractal geometry.
