Girls' Angle and MIT's Undergraduate Society of Women in Mathematics (USWIM) are collaborating to bring you SUMit 2013.
SUMiT is a fully collaborative, math intensive event for girls. SUMiT 2013 is the second installment of SUMiT. SUMiT 2012 took place on January 21, 2012 at MIT and received an average overall rating of 10 out of 10 from participants!
This year, 6-10th grade girls from a wide range of mathematical backgrounds will come together in a one day mathematical extravaganza. They will join forces to tackle a wide array of tantalizing and engaging math problems as they strive toward a common goal. If they succeed, they will earn magnificent prizes.
SUMiT has grown out of the traditional end-of-semester Treasure Hunt at Girls' Angle. Together, Girls’ Angle and MIT’s Undergraduate Society for Women in Mathematics (USWIM) have created SUMiT to bring this fun-filled event out of the Girls' Angle club to the general public.
SUMiT is different from every other math extracurricular event in the United States. It creates a community of young women excited about mathematics, inspires young girls’ enthusiasm in math without competition and shows them the power of cooperation towards a shared purpose.
